[PATCH] Revert "KVM: x86: Unconditionally enable irqs in guest context"

From: Nitesh Narayan Lal
Date: Tue Jan 05 2021 - 14:30:22 EST


This reverts commit d7a08882a0a4b4e176691331ee3f492996579534.

After the introduction of the patch:

87fa7f3e9: x86/kvm: Move context tracking where it belongs

since we have moved guest_exit_irqoff closer to the VM-Exit, explicit
enabling of irqs to process pending interrupts should not be required
within vcpu_enter_guest anymore.
