Wanpeng Li 1604571401 KVM: x86: Defer vtime accounting 'til after IRQ handling
Defer the call to account guest time until after servicing any IRQ(s)
that happened in the guest or immediately after VM-Exit.  Tick-based
accounting of vCPU time relies on PF_VCPU being set when the tick IRQ
handler runs, and IRQs are blocked throughout the main sequence of
vcpu_enter_guest(), including the call into vendor code to actually
enter and exit the guest.

This fixes a bug where reported guest time remains '0', even when
running an infinite loop in the guest:

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.
