These should fix, or at least help, the kernel panic reported by Longpeng
with VT-d posted interrupts.

CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST reports a double add, meaning that pi_pre_block ran twice
without pi_post_block deleting the vCPU from the blocked_on_vcpu list.
The only possibility that I could think of is that this:

        if (!kvm_arch_has_assigned_device(vcpu->kvm) ||
                !irq_remapping_cap(IRQ_POSTING_CAP)  ||
                !kvm_vcpu_apicv_active(vcpu))
                return;

was false in pi_post_block.  In turn, I can only think of hot-unplug as
the cause of this imbalance, but maybe there is another way to reach it
just via repeated startup and shutdown.  Gonglei reported problems with
hot-unplug offlist too, so this is a start.

In any case, patch 2 replaces it with a check on vcpu->pre_pcpu.
A similar change is done in patch 3 to vmx_vcpu_pi_load.  I don't
have hardware easily accessible with VT-d PI, so these patches are
compile-tested only.  I apologize for any stupid mistakes.

The first three patches are meant for stable versions too.
