Sean Christopherson 202470d536 KVM: SVM: Don't bother checking for "running" AVIC when kicking for IPIs
Drop the avic_vcpu_is_running() check when waking vCPUs in response to a
VM-Exit due to incomplete IPI delivery.  The check isn't wrong per se, but
it's not 100% accurate in the sense that it doesn't guarantee that the vCPU
was one of the vCPUs that didn't receive the IPI.

The check isn't required for correctness as blocking == !running in this
context.

From a performance perspective, waking a live task is not expensive as the
only moderately costly operation is a locked operation to temporarily
disable preemption.  And if that is indeed a performance issue,
kvm_vcpu_is_blocking() would be a better check than poking into the AVIC.

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.
