So I think we just call kvm_vcpu_kick() because it calls
kvm_vcpu_wake_up().  If we have this timer work happening, it means that
the VCPU is blocked, and there won't be a race with executing in the run
loop, right?

So maybe we should just change this kvm_vcpu_kick() to a direct call to
kvm_vcpu_wake_up() to avoid having a request-less kick.

Note that your change will still work, I just think it's unnecessary.

Thanks,
