KVM: avoid unnecessary wait for a async pf

Browse source

In current code, it checks async pf completion out of the wait context,
like this:

if (vcpu->arch.mp_state == KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE &&
		    !vcpu->arch.apf.halted)
			r = vcpu_enter_guest(vcpu);
		else {
			......
			kvm_vcpu_block(vcpu)
			 ^- waiting until 'async_pf.done' is not empty
}

kvm_check_async_pf_completion(vcpu)
 ^- delete list from async_pf.done

So, if we check aysnc pf completion first, it can be blocked at
kvm_vcpu_block

Fixed by mark the vcpu is unhalted in kvm_check_async_pf_completion()
path
