KVM: VMX: Handle PI descriptor updates during vcpu_put/load

Move the posted interrupt pre/post_block logic into vcpu_put/load
respectively, using the kvm_vcpu_is_blocking() to determining whether or
not the wakeup handler needs to be set (and unset).  This avoids updating
the PI descriptor if halt-polling is successful, reduces the number of
touchpoints for updating the descriptor, and eliminates the confusing
behavior of intentionally leaving a "stale" PI.NDST when a blocking vCPU
is scheduled back in after preemption.

The downside is that KVM will do the PID update twice if the vCPU is
preempted after prepare_to_rcuwait() but before schedule(), but that's a
rare case (and non-existent on !PREEMPT kernels).

The notable wart is the need to send a self-IPI on the wakeup vector if
an outstanding notification is pending after configuring the wakeup
vector.  Ideally, KVM would just do a kvm_vcpu_wake_up() in this case,
but the scheduler doesn't support waking a task from its preemption
notifier callback, i.e. while the task is right in the middle of
being scheduled out.

Note, setting the wakeup vector before halt-polling is not necessary:
once the pending IRQ will be recorded in the PIR, kvm_vcpu_has_events()
will detect this (via kvm_cpu_get_interrupt(), kvm_apic_get_interrupt(),
apic_has_interrupt_for_ppr() and finally vmx_sync_pir_to_irr()) and
terminate the polling.
