Fix a corner case in which the L1 hypervisor intercepts interrupts (INTERCEPT_INTR) and either doesn't set virtual interrupt masking (V_INTR_MASKING) or enters a nested guest with EFLAGS.IF disabled prior to the entry. In this case, despite the fact that L1 intercepts the interrupts, KVM still needs to set up an interrupt window to wait before injecting the INTR vmexit. Currently the KVM instead enters an endless loop of 'req_immediate_exit'. Exactly the same issue also happens for SMIs and NMI. Fix this as well. Note that on VMX, this case is impossible as there is only 'vmexit on external interrupts' execution control which either set, in which case both host and guest's EFLAGS.IF are ignored, or not set, in which case no VMexits are delivered.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
