kvm_vcpu_apicv_active() returns false if a virtual machine has no in-kernel
local APIC, however kvm_apicv_activated might still be true if there are
no reasons to disable APICv; in fact it is quite likely that there is none
because APICv is inhibited by specific configurations of the local APIC
and those configurations cannot be programmed.  This triggers a WARN:

   WARN_ON_ONCE(kvm_apicv_activated(vcpu->kvm) != kvm_vcpu_apicv_active(vcpu));

To avoid this, introduce another cause for APICv inhibition, namely the
absence of an in-kernel local APIC.  This cause is enabled by default,
and is dropped by either KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP or the enabling of
KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP_SPLIT.
