KVM: x86/pmu: Synthesize at most one PMI per VM-exit

When the irq_work callback, kvm_pmi_trigger_fn(), is invoked during a
VM-exit that also invokes __kvm_perf_overflow() as a result of
instruction emulation, kvm_pmu_deliver_pmi() will be called twice
before the next VM-entry.

Calling kvm_pmu_deliver_pmi() twice is unlikely to be problematic now that
KVM sets the LVTPC mask bit when delivering a PMI.  But using IRQ work to
trigger the PMI is still broken, albeit very theoretically.

E.g. if the self-IPI to trigger IRQ work is be delayed long enough for the
vCPU to be migrated to a different pCPU, then it's possible for
kvm_pmi_trigger_fn() to race with the kvm_pmu_deliver_pmi() from
KVM_REQ_PMI and still generate two PMIs.

KVM could set the mask bit using an atomic operation, but that'd just be
piling on unnecessary code to workaround what is effectively a hack.  The
*only* reason KVM uses IRQ work is to ensure the PMI is treated as a wake
event, e.g. if the vCPU just executed HLT.

Remove the irq_work callback for synthesizing a PMI, and all of the
logic for invoking it. Instead, to prevent a vcpu from leaving C0 with
a PMI pending, add a check for KVM_REQ_PMI to kvm_vcpu_has_events().
