[PATCH 4/6] KVM: lapic: avoid unnecessary KVM_REQ_EVENT on IRR scan

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>]

PPR needs to be updated whenever on every IRR read because we may have
missed TPR writes that _increased_ PPR.  However, these writes need not
generate KVM_REQ_EVENT, because KVM_REQ_EVENT has been set already in
__apic_accept_irq, by apic_update_ppr when TPR was lowered, or again by
apic_update_ppr when EOI cleared a bit in ISR.
