Commit 66570e966dd9 (kvm: x86: only provide PV features if enabled in guest's
CPUID) avoids to access pv tlb shootdown host side logic when this pv feature
is not exposed to guest, however, kvm_steal_time.preempted not only leveraged
by pv tlb shootdown logic but also mitigate the lock holder preemption issue.
>From guest's point of view, vCPU is always preempted since we lose the reset
of kvm_steal_time.preempted before vmentry if pv tlb shootdown feature is not
exposed. This patch fixes it by clearing kvm_steal_time.preempted before
vmentry.
