Sean Christopherson dea0d5a2fd KVM: x86: Exempt pending triple fault from event injection sanity check
Exempt pending triple faults, a.k.a. KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT, when asserting
that KVM didn't attempt to queue a new exception during event injection.
KVM needs to emulate the injection itself when emulating Real Mode due to
lack of unrestricted guest support (VMX) and will queue a triple fault if
that emulation fails.

Ideally the assertion would more precisely filter out the emulated Real
Mode triple fault case, but rmode.vm86_active is buried in vcpu_vmx and
can't be queried without a new kvm_x86_ops.  And unlike "regular"
exceptions, triple fault cannot put the vCPU into an infinite loop; the
triple fault will force either an exit to userspace or a nested VM-Exit,
and triple fault after nested VM-Exit will force an exit to userspace.
I.e. there is no functional issue, so just suppress the warning for
triple faults.

Opportunistically convert the warning to a one-time thing, when it
fires, it fires _a lot_, and is usually user triggerable, i.e. can be
used to spam the kernel log.

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.
