kvm_apic_update_apicv is called when AVIC is still active, thus IRR bits
can be set by the CPU after it is called, and don't cause the irr_pending
to be set to true.
Also logic in avic_kick_target_vcpu doesn't expect a race with this
function so to make it simple, just keep irr_pending set to true and
let the next interrupt injection to the guest clear it.
