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.
