Prasad Pandit 6231c9e1a9 KVM: x86: make KVM_REQ_NMI request iff NMI pending for vcpu 
kvm_vcpu_ioctl_x86_set_vcpu_events() routine makes 'KVM_REQ_NMI'
request for a vcpu even when its 'events->nmi.pending' is zero.
Ex:
    qemu_thread_start
     kvm_vcpu_thread_fn
      qemu_wait_io_event
       qemu_wait_io_event_common
        process_queued_cpu_work
         do_kvm_cpu_synchronize_post_init/_reset
          kvm_arch_put_registers
           kvm_put_vcpu_events (cpu, level=[2|3])

This leads vCPU threads in QEMU to constantly acquire & release the
global mutex lock, delaying the guest boot due to lock contention.
Add check to make KVM_REQ_NMI request only if vcpu has NMI pending.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
