kvm_set_pending_timer() will take care to wake up the sleeping vCPU which 
has pending timer, don't need to check this in apic_timer_expired() again.

No, it doesn't.  kvm_make_request never kicks the vCPU.

Hm, but kvm_set_pending_timer() currently looks like:

void kvm_set_pending_timer(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
	kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_PENDING_TIMER, vcpu);
	kvm_vcpu_kick(vcpu);
}

Doing "git fetch" could have helped indeed.
