This reverts commit 180c6b072bf360b686e53d893d8dcf7dbbaec6bb ("KVM: PPC:
Book3S HV nestedv2: Do not cancel pending decrementer exception") which
prevented cancelling a pending HDEC exception for nestedv2 KVM guests. It
was done to avoid overhead of a H_GUEST_GET_STATE hcall to read the 'HDEC
expiry TB' register which was higher compared to handling extra decrementer
exceptions.
This overhead of reading 'HDEC expiry TB' register has been mitigated
recently by the L0 hypervisor(PowerVM) by putting the value of this
register in L2 guest-state output buffer on trap to L1. From there the
value of this register is cached, made available in kvmhv_run_single_vcpu()
to compare it against host(L1) timebase and cancel the pending hypervisor
decrementer exception if needed.
