KVM: arm64: nv: Request vPE doorbell upon nested ERET to L2
Running an L2 guest with GICv4 enabled goes absolutely nowhere, and gets
into a vicious cycle of nested ERET followed by nested exception entry
into the L1.
When KVM does a put on a runnable vCPU, it marks the vPE as nonresident
but does not request a doorbell IRQ. Behind the scenes in the ITS
driver's view of the vCPU, its_vpe::pending_last gets set to true to
indicate that context is still runnable.
This comes to a head when doing the nested ERET into L2. The vPE doesn't
get scheduled on the redistributor as it is exclusively part of the L1's
VGIC context. kvm_vgic_vcpu_pending_irq() returns true because the vPE
appears runnable, and KVM does a nested exception entry into the L1
before L2 ever gets off the ground.
This issue can be papered over by requesting a doorbell IRQ when
descheduling a vPE as part of a nested ERET. KVM needs this anyway to
kick the vCPU out of the L2 when an IRQ becomes pending for the L1.
