[ Upstream commit 2b0ecccb55310a4b8ad5d59c703cf8c821be6260 ]

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.
