[PATCH v2 35/43] KVM: SVM: Signal AVIC doorbell iff vCPU is in guest mode

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Oct 08 2021 - 22:16:36 EST


Signal the AVIC doorbell iff the vCPU is running in the guest. If the vCPU
is not IN_GUEST_MODE, it's guaranteed to pick up any pending IRQs on the
next VMRUN, which unconditionally processes the vIRR.

Add comments to document the logic.
