KVM: x86: Rework INIT and SIPI handling
A VCPU sending INIT or SIPI to some other VCPU races for setting the remote VCPU's mp_state. When we were unlucky, KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED was overwritten by kvm_emulate_halt and, thus, got lost. This introduces APIC events for those two signals, keeping them in kvm_apic until kvm_apic_accept_events is run over the target vcpu context. kvm_apic_has_events reports to kvm_arch_vcpu_runnable if there are pending events, thus if vcpu blocking should end. The patch comes with the side effect of effectively obsoleting KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED. We still accept it from user space, but immediately translate it to KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED + KVM_APIC_SIPI. The vcpu itself will no longer enter the KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED state. That also means we no longer exit to user space after receiving a SIPI event. Furthermore, we already reset the VCPU on INIT, only fixing up the code segment later on when SIPI arrives. Moreover, we fix INIT handling for the BSP: it never enter wait-for-SIPI but directly starts over on INIT.
