In most cases calling hwapic_isr_update(), actually we always
check if kvm_apic_vid_enabled() == 1, and also actually,
kvm_apic_vid_enabled()
     -> kvm_x86_ops->vm_has_apicv()
         -> vmx_vm_has_apicv() or '0' in svm case

So its unnecessary to recall this inside hwapic_isr_update(), here
just remove vmx_vm_has_apicv() out and follow others.

If you want to do this, please NULL out the function pointer instead, as
KVM already does for hwapic_irr_update.

Are you saying something below?

if (enable_apicv)
	...
else {
	kvm_x86_ops->hwapic_irr_update = NULL;

But there's a little bit difference to NULL out hwapic_isr_update(),

static int vmx_vm_has_apicv(struct kvm *kvm)
{
    return enable_apicv && irqchip_in_kernel(kvm);
}

Yes, I can do something like this,

static __init int hadware_setup(void)
{
	...
	if (enable_apicv) {
		...
		if (!irqchip_in_kernel(kvm))
			kvm_x86_ops->hwapic_isr_update = NULL;	
	} else {
		...
		kvm_x86_ops->hwapic_isr_update = NULL;

But this means we have to revise hadware_setup() to get 'kvm' inside, then rebase other callers to hwapic_isr_update(), is it really good?

Here what I will intend to do is trying to reduce some cost (reduplicate check) with a little code, so its may not be worth changing much more.
