KVM: x86: Fix perf timer mode IP reporting
KVM and perf have a special backdoor mechanism to report the IP for interrupts re-executed after vm exit. This works for the NMIs that perf normally uses. However when perf is in timer mode it doesn't work because the timer interrupt doesn't get this special treatment. This is common when KVM is running nested in another hypervisor which may not implement the PMU, so only timer mode is available. Call the functions to set up the backdoor IP also for non NMI interrupts. I renamed the functions to set up the backdoor IP reporting to be more appropiate for their new use. The SVM change is only compile tested. v2: Moved the functions inline. For the normal interrupt case the before/after functions are now called from x86.c, not arch specific code. For the NMI case we still need to call it in the architecture specific code, because it's already needed in the low level *_run functions.
