From: Michael Mueller <mimu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Commit "s390/kvm: Use common waitqueue" caused a performance regression
on s390. It turned out that a yield candidate was missed by just a simple
test on its non-empty waitqueue. If an interrupt is outstanding, the candidate
might be suitable. kvm_arch_vcpu_dont_yield is extended by a test that
additionally tests for not yet delivered interrupts.
Significant performance measurement work and code analysis to solve
this issue was provided by Mao Chuan Li and his team in Beijing.
