[PATCH 3/4] KVM/VMX: Invoke NMI non-IST entry instead of IST entry

[Lai Jiangshan <jiangshanlai@gmail.com>]

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@linux.alibaba.com>

In VMX, the NMI handler needs to be invoked after NMI VM-Exit.

Before the commit 1a5488ef0dcf6 ("KVM: VMX: Invoke NMI handler via
indirect call instead of INTn"), the work is done by INTn ("int $2").

But INTn microcode is relatively expensive, so the commit reworked
NMI VM-Exit handling to invoke the kernel handler by function call.
And INTn doesn't set the NMI blocked flag required by the linux kernel
NMI entry.  So moving away from INTn are very reasonable.

Yet some details were missed.  After the said commit applied, the NMI
entry pointer is fetched from the IDT table and called from the kernel
stack.  But the NMI entry pointer installed on the IDT table is
asm_exc_nmi() which expects to be invoked on the IST stack by the ISA.
And it relies on the "NMI executing" variable on the IST stack to work
correctly.  When it is unexpectedly called from the kernel stack, the
RSP-located "NMI executing" variable is also on the kernel stack and
is "uninitialized" and can cause the NMI entry to run in the wrong way.

So we should not used the NMI entry installed on the IDT table.  Rather,
we should use the NMI entry allowed to be used on the kernel stack which
is asm_noist_exc_nmi() which is also used for XENPV and early booting.
