x86/apicv: fix wrong IPI suppression during posted interrupt delivery
__vmx_deliver_posted_interrupt() wrongly used a softirq bit to decide whether
to suppress an IPI. Its logic was: the first time an IPI was sent, we set
the softirq bit. Next time, we would check that softirq bit before sending
another IPI. If the 1st IPI arrived at the pCPU which was in
non-root mode, the hardware would consume the IPI and sync PIR to vIRR.
During the process, no one (both hardware and software) will clear the
softirq bit. As a result, the following IPI would be wrongly suppressed.
This patch discards the suppression check, always sending an IPI.
The softirq also need to be raised. But there is a little change.
This patch moves the place where we raise a softirq for
'cpu != smp_processor_id()' case to the IPI interrupt handler.
Namely, don't raise a softirq for this case and set the interrupt handler
to pi_notification_interrupt()(in which a softirq is raised) regardless of
VT-d PI enabled or not. The only difference is when an IPI arrives at the
pCPU which is happened in non-root mode, the code will not raise a useless
softirq since the IPI is consumed by hardware rather than raise a softirq
unconditionally.
