Subject[PATCH v4] KVM: Avoid expensive "should kick" operation for running vCPU
Date
From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@tencent.com>

Avoid the moderately expensive "should kick" operation if this pCPU
is currently running the target vCPU.

Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@tencent.com>
---
v3 -> v4:
* check running vCPU in a separate patch
v2 -> v3:
* use kvm_arch_vcpu_get_wait()
v1 -> v2:
* move checking running vCPU logic to kvm_vcpu_kick
* check rcuwait_active(&vcpu->wait) etc
