KVM: VMX: Do not change PID.NDST when loading a blocked vCPU
When vCPU enters block phase, pi_pre_block() inserts vCPU to a per pCPU linked list of all vCPUs that are blocked on this pCPU. Afterwards, it changes PID.NV to POSTED_INTR_WAKEUP_VECTOR which its handler (wakeup_handler()) is responsible to kick (unblock) any vCPU on that linked list that now has pending posted interrupts. While vCPU is blocked (in kvm_vcpu_block()), it may be preempted which will cause vmx_vcpu_pi_put() to set PID.SN. If later the vCPU will be scheduled to run on a different pCPU, vmx_vcpu_pi_load() will clear PID.SN but will also *overwrite PID.NDST to this different pCPU*. Instead of keeping it with original pCPU which vCPU had entered block phase on. This results in an issue because when a posted interrupt is delivered, as the wakeup_handler() will be executed and fail to find blocked vCPU on its per pCPU linked list of all vCPUs that are blocked on this pCPU. Which is due to the vCPU being placed on a *different* per pCPU linked list i.e. the original pCPU in which it entered block phase. The regression is introduced by commit c112b5f5 ("KVM: x86: Recompute PID.ON when clearing PID.SN"). Therefore, partially revert it and reintroduce the condition in vmx_vcpu_pi_load() responsible for avoiding changing PID.NDST when loading a blocked vCPU.
