stimers_pending optimization only helps us to avoid multiple
kvm_make_request() calls. This doesn't happen very often and these
calls are very cheap in the first place, remove open-coded version of
stimer_mark_pending() from kvm_hv_notify_acked_sint().

I wouldn't say very cheap, but still relatively cheap compared to a vmexit.

Frankly speaking, I've yet to see a guest that configures more than one
SynIC timer.  So it was indeed a bit of overengineering in the first
place.
