These can be triggered by running kvm-unit-test: ./x86-run x86/vmx.flat

The nested preemption timer is based on hrtimer which is started on L2 
entry, stopped on L2 exit and evaluated via the new check_nested_events 
hook. The current logic adds vCPU to a simple waitqueue (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) 
if need to yield pCPU and w/o holding srcu read lock when accesses memslots, 
both can be in nested preemption timer evaluation path which results in 
the warning above. 

This patch fix it by leveraging request bit to async reload APIC access 
page before vmentry in order to avoid to reload directly during the nested 
preemption timer evaluation, it is safe since the vmcs01 is loaded and 
current is nested vmexit.
