Remove the vCPU from the wakeup list before updating the notification vector in the posted interrupt post-block helper. There is no need to wake the current vCPU as it is by definition not blocking. Practically speaking this is a nop as it only shaves a few meager cycles in the unlikely case that the vCPU was migrated and the previous pCPU gets a wakeup IRQ right before PID.NV is updated. The real motivation is to allow for more readable code in the future, when post-block is merged with vmx_vcpu_pi_load(), at which point removal from the list will be conditional on the old notification vector. Opportunistically add comments to document why KVM has a per-CPU spinlock that, at first glance, appears to be taken only on the owning CPU. Explicitly call out that the spinlock must be taken with IRQs disabled, a detail that was "lost" when KVM switched from spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock(), with IRQs disabled for the entirety of the relevant path.

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.
