x86/vm_event: block interrupt injection for sync vm_events
Block interrupts (in vmx_intr_assist()) for the duration of
processing a sync vm_event (similarly to the strategy
currently used for single-stepping). Otherwise, attempting
to emulate an instruction when requested by a vm_event
reply may legitimately need to call e.g.
hvm_inject_page_fault(), which then overwrites the active
interrupt in the VMCS.
The sync vm_event handling path on x86/VMX is (roughly):
monitor_traps() -> process vm_event -> vmx_intr_assist()
(possibly writing VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO) ->
hvm_vm_event_do_resume() -> hvm_emulate_one_vm_event()
(possibly overwriting the VM_ENTRY_INTR_INFO value).
This patch may also be helpful for the future removal
of may_defer in hvm_set_cr{0,3,4} and hvm_set_msr().
