    Commit 66570e96 (kvm: x86: only provide PV features if enabled in guest's
    CPUID) avoids to access pv tlb shootdown host side logic when this pv feature
    is not exposed to guest, however, kvm_steal_time.preempted not only leveraged
    by pv tlb shootdown logic but also mitigate the lock holder preemption issue.
    From guest's point of view, vCPU is always preempted since we lose the reset
    of kvm_steal_time.preempted before vmentry if pv tlb shootdown feature is not
    exposed. This patch fixes it by clearing kvm_steal_time.preempted before
    vmentry.
