KVM: VMX: Drop pointless PI.NDST update when blocking
Don't update Posted Interrupt's NDST, a.k.a. the target pCPU, in the pre-block path, as NDST is guaranteed to be up-to-date. The comment about the vCPU being preempted during the update is simply wrong, as the update path runs with IRQs disabled (from before snapshotting vcpu->cpu, until after the update completes). Since commit 8b306e2f ("KVM: VMX: avoid double list add with VT-d posted interrupts", 2017-09-27) The vCPU can get preempted _before_ the update starts, but not during. And if the vCPU is preempted before, vmx_vcpu_pi_load() is responsible for updating NDST when the vCPU is scheduled back in. In that case, the check against the wakeup vector in vmx_vcpu_pi_load() cannot be true as that would require the notification vector to have been set to the wakeup vector _before_ blocking. Opportunistically switch to using vcpu->cpu for the list/lock lookups, which do not need pre_pcpu since the same commit.
