KVM: nVMX: Wake blocked vCPU in guest-mode if pending interrupt in virtual APICv

In case L1 do not intercept L2 HLT or enter L2 in HLT activity-state,
it is possible for a vCPU to be blocked while it is in guest-mode.

According to Intel SDM 26.6.5 Interrupt-Window Exiting and
Virtual-Interrupt Delivery: "These events wake the logical processor
if it just entered the HLT state because of a VM entry".
Therefore, if L1 enters L2 in HLT activity-state and L2 has a pending
deliverable interrupt in vmcs12->guest_intr_status.RVI, then the vCPU
should be waken from the HLT state and injected with the interrupt.

In addition, if while the vCPU is blocked (while it is in guest-mode),
it receives a nested posted-interrupt, then the vCPU should also be
waken and injected with the posted interrupt.

To handle these cases, this patch enhances kvm_vcpu_has_events() to also
check if there is a pending interrupt in L2 virtual APICv provided by
L1. That is, it evaluates if there is a pending virtual interrupt for L2
by checking RVI[7:4] > VPPR[7:4] as specified in Intel SDM 29.2.1
Evaluation of Pending Interrupts.

Note that this also handles the case of nested posted-interrupt by the
fact RVI is updated in vmx_complete_nested_posted_interrupt() which is
called from kvm_vcpu_check_block() -> kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable() ->
kvm_vcpu_running() -> vmx_check_nested_events() ->
vmx_complete_nested_posted_interrupt().
