KVM: VMX: Read cached VM-Exit reason to detect external interrupt
Generic x86 code invokes the kvm_x86_ops external interrupt handler on all VM-Exits regardless of the actual exit type. Use the already-cached EXIT_REASON to determine if the VM-Exit was due to an interrupt, thus avoiding an extra VMREAD (to query VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO) for all other types of VM-Exit. In addition to avoiding the extra VMREAD, checking the EXIT_REASON instead of VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO makes it more obvious that vmx_handle_external_intr() is called for all VM-Exits, e.g. someone unfamiliar with the flow might wonder under what condition(s) VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO does not contain a valid interrupt, which is simply not possible since KVM always runs with "ack interrupt on exit". WARN once if VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO doesn't contain a valid interrupt on an EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT VM-Exit, as such a condition would indicate a hardware bug.
