This patch reproduces for nSVM the change that was made for nVMX in
commit b5861e5cf2fc ("KVM: nVMX: Fix loss of pending IRQ/NMI before
entering L2").  While I do not have a test that breaks without it, I
cannot see why it would not be necessary since all events are unblocked
by VMRUN's setting of GIF back to 1.

I suspect, running Jailhouse enable/disable in a tight loop as KVM guest 
can stress this fairly well. At least that was the case last time I 
tried (4 years ago, or so) - it broke it.

Unfortunately, we have no up-to-date configuration for such a setup. 
Some old pieces are lying around here, could try to hand them over if 
someone is interested and has the time I lack ATM.
