KVM: LAPIC: Fix lapic timer injection delay
If the TSC deadline timer is programmed really close to the deadline or even in the past, the computation in vmx_set_hv_timer will program the absolute target tsc value to vmcs preemption timer field w/ delta == 0, then plays a vmentry and an upcoming vmx preemption timer fire vmexit dance, the lapic timer injection is delayed due to this duration. Actually the lapic timer which is emulated by hrtimer can handle this correctly. This patch fixes it by firing the lapic timer and injecting a timer interrupt immediately during the next vmentry if the TSC deadline timer is programmed really close to the deadline or even in the past. This saves ~300 cycles on the tsc_deadline_timer test of apic.flat.
