After test_and_set_bit() for kvm->arch.apicv_inhibit_reasons, we will always get false when calling kvm_apicv_activated() because it's sure apicv_inhibit_reasons do not equal to 0. What the code wants to do, is check whether APICv was *already* active and if so skip the costly request; we can do this using cmpxchg.

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.
