KVM: x86: Exempt pending triple fault from event injection sanity check
Exempt pending triple faults, a.k.a. KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT, when asserting that KVM didn't attempt to queue a new exception during event injection. KVM needs to emulate the injection itself when emulating Real Mode due to lack of unrestricted guest support (VMX) and will queue a triple fault if that emulation fails. Ideally the assertion would more precisely filter out the emulated Real Mode triple fault case, but rmode.vm86_active is buried in vcpu_vmx and can't be queried without a new kvm_x86_ops. And unlike "regular" exceptions, triple fault cannot put the vCPU into an infinite loop; the triple fault will force either an exit to userspace or a nested VM-Exit, and triple fault after nested VM-Exit will force an exit to userspace. I.e. there is no functional issue, so just suppress the warning for triple faults. Opportunistically convert the warning to a one-time thing, when it fires, it fires _a lot_, and is usually user triggerable, i.e. can be used to spam the kernel log.

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.
