Replace the full "kick" with just the "wake" in the fallback path when triggering a virtual interrupt via a posted interrupt fails because the guest is not IN_GUEST_MODE. If the guest transitions into guest mode between the check and the kick, then it's guaranteed to see the pending interrupt as KVM syncs the PIR to IRR (and onto GUEST_RVI) after setting IN_GUEST_MODE. Kicking the guest in this case is nothing more than an unnecessary VM-Exit (and host IRQ). Opportunistically update comments to explain the various ordering rules and barriers at play.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
