Don't update Posted Interrupt's NDST, a.k.a. the target pCPU, in the
pre-block path, as NDST is guaranteed to be up-to-date. The comment
about the vCPU being preempted during the update is simply wrong, as the
update path runs with IRQs disabled (from before snapshotting vcpu->cpu,
until after the update completes).
Since commit 8b306e2f3c ("KVM: VMX: avoid double list add with VT-d
posted interrupts", 2017-09-27) The vCPU can get preempted _before_
the update starts, but not during. And if the vCPU is preempted before,
vmx_vcpu_pi_load() is responsible for updating NDST when the vCPU is
scheduled back in. In that case, the check against the wakeup vector in
vmx_vcpu_pi_load() cannot be true as that would require the notification
vector to have been set to the wakeup vector _before_ blocking.
Opportunistically switch to using vcpu->cpu for the list/lock lookups,
which do not need pre_pcpu since the same commit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
