Commit 6addfc42992b ("KVM: x86: avoid useless set of KVM_REQ_EVENT after 
emulation") sets a KVM_REQ_EVENT if an interrupt could be injected, which 
happens a) if an interrupt shadow bit (STI or MOV SS) has gone away; b) 
if the interrupt flag has just been set. However, a KVM_REQ_EVENT should 
be set if there is no sti sequence. This patch fix it by set a KVM_REQ_EVENT 
if both the first and the second instructions are not sti.
