KVM: nVMX: Re-evaluate L1 pending events when running L2 and L1 got posted-interrupt

In case posted-interrupt was delivered to CPU while it is in host
(outside guest), then posted-interrupt delivery will be done by
calling sync_pir_to_irr() at vmentry after interrupts are disabled.

sync_pir_to_irr() will check vmx->pi_desc.control ON bit and if
set, it will sync vmx->pi_desc.pir to IRR and afterwards update RVI to
ensure virtual-interrupt-delivery will dispatch interrupt to guest.

However, it is possible that L1 will receive a posted-interrupt while
CPU runs at host and is about to enter L2. In this case, the call to
sync_pir_to_irr() will indeed update the L1's APIC IRR but
vcpu_enter_guest() will then just resume into L2 guest without
re-evaluating if it should exit from L2 to L1 as a result of this
new pending L1 event.

To address this case, if sync_pir_to_irr() has a new L1 injectable
interrupt and CPU is running L2, we force exit GUEST_MODE which will
result in another iteration of vcpu_run() run loop which will call
kvm_vcpu_running() which will call check_nested_events() which will
handle the pending L1 event properly.
