KVM: x86: ioapic: Fix level-triggered EOI and IOAPIC reconfigure race

KVM uses ioapic_handled_vectors to track vectors that need to notify the
IOAPIC on EOI. The problem is that IOAPIC can be reconfigured while an
interrupt with old configuration is pending or running and
ioapic_handled_vectors only remembers the newest configuration;
thus EOI from the old interrupt is not delievered to the IOAPIC.

A previous commit db2bdcbb
("KVM: x86: fix edge EOI and IOAPIC reconfig race")
addressed this issue by adding pending edge-triggered interrupts to
ioapic_handled_vectors, fixing this race for edge-triggered interrupts.
The commit explicitly ignored level-triggered interrupts,
but this race applies to them as well:

1) IOAPIC sends a level triggered interrupt vector to VCPU0
2) VCPU0's handler deasserts the irq line and reconfigures the IOAPIC
   to route the vector to VCPU1. The reconfiguration rewrites only the
   upper 32 bits of the IOREDTBLn register. (Causes KVM to update
   ioapic_handled_vectors for VCPU0 and it no longer includes the vector.)
3) VCPU0 sends EOI for the vector, but it's not delievered to the
   IOAPIC because the ioapic_handled_vectors doesn't include the vector.
4) New interrupts are not delievered to VCPU1 because remote_irr bit
   is set forever.

Therefore, the correct behavior is to add all pending and running
interrupts to ioapic_handled_vectors.

This commit introduces a slight performance hit similar to
commit db2bdcbb ("KVM: x86: fix edge EOI and IOAPIC reconfig race")
for the rare case that the vector is reused by a non-IOAPIC source on
VCPU0. We prefer to keep solution simple and not handle this case just
as the original commit does.
