From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>
We will go to vcpu_run() loop after L0 emulates VMRESUME which maybe
incur kvm_sched_out and kvm_sched_in operations since cond_resched()
will be called once need resched. Preemption timer will be reprogrammed
if vCPU is scheduled to a different pCPU. Then the preemption timer
bit of vmcs02 will be set if L0 enable preemption timer to run L1 even
if L1 doesn't enable preemption timer to run L2.
This patch fix it by don't reprogram preemption timer of vmcs02 if L1's
vCPU is scheduled on diffent pCPU when we are in the way to vmresume
nested guest, and fallback to hrtimer based emulated method.
