Also on second thought. I can give this hunk some test cycles here, just
in case.

Reading through my code again, I'm now wondering why I added
check_nested_events to both inject_pending_event and vcpu_enter_guest.
The former seems redundant, only vcpu_enter_guest calls
inject_pending_event. I guess I forgot a cleanup here.

I can fold in your changes when I resend for the other cleanup.
