wait_lapic_expire() call was moved above guest_enter_irqoff() because of
its tracepoint, which violated the RCU extended quiescent state invoked
by guest_enter_irqoff()[1][2]. This patch simply moves the tracepoint
below guest_exit_irqoff() in vcpu_enter_guest(). Snapshot the delta before
VM-Enter, but trace it after VM-Exit. This can help us to move
wait_lapic_expire() just before vmentry in the later patch.

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.
