KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Kick VCPUs when queueing already pending IRQs
In cases like IPI, we could be queueing an interrupt for a VCPU that is already running and is not about to exit, because the VCPU has entered the VM with the interrupt pending and would not trap on EOI'ing that interrupt. This could result to delays in interrupt deliveries or even loss of interrupts. To guarantee prompt interrupt injection, here we have to try to kick the VCPU.
