I encounter this when trying to stress the async page fault in L1 guest w/ 
L2 guests running.

Commit 9b132fbe5419 (Add rcu user eqs exception hooks for async page fault) 
adds rcu_irq_enter/exit() to kvm_async_pf_task_wait() to exit cpu idle eqs 
when needed, to protect the code that needs use rcu. There is no need to call 
this pairs if async page fault is not triggered from idle task.

This patch fixes it by informing the RCU subsystem exit/enter the irq 
towards/away from idle for both n.halted and !n.halted.
