--------------------------------

[ Upstream commit 1714a4eb ]

As commit 0c5f81da ("KVM: LAPIC: Inject timer interrupt via posted
interrupt") mentioned that the host admin should well tune the guest
setup, so that vCPUs are placed on isolated pCPUs, and with several pCPUs
surplus for *busy* housekeeping.  In this setup, it is preferrable to
disable mwait/hlt/pause vmexits to keep the vCPUs in non-root mode.

However, if only some guests isolated and others not, they would not
have any benefit from posted timer interrupts, and at the same time lose
VMX preemption timer fast paths because kvm_can_post_timer_interrupt()
returns true and therefore forces kvm_can_use_hv_timer() to false.

By guaranteeing that posted-interrupt timer is only used if MWAIT or
HLT are done without vmexit, KVM can make a better choice and use the
VMX preemption timer and the corresponding fast paths.
