ACK notifiers don't work with AMD SVM w/ AVIC when the PIT interrupt

Add code to check LAPIC pending EOI before injecting any pending PIT
interrupt on AMD SVM when AVIC is activated.

In which case would eoi be != 0 when APIC-V is active?
That would be the case when guest has not processed and/or still processing the interrupt.
Once the guest writes to APIC EOI register for edge-triggered interrupt for vector 0,
and the AVIC hardware accelerated the access by clearing the highest priority ISR bit,
then the eoi should be zero.
Thinking about this a bit more, you're basically saying the irq ack
notifier never triggers because we don't see the EOI register write, but
we can determine the state asynchronously.
The irqfd code also uses the ack notifier for level irq reinjection.
Will that break as well?
Wouldn't it make more sense to try to either maintain the ack notifier
API or remove it completely if we can't find a way to make it work with
APIC-V?
So what if we detect that an IRQ vector we're injecting for has an irq
notifier? If it does, we set up / start:
* an hrtimer that polls for EOI on that vector
* a flag so that every vcpu on exit checks for EOI on that vector
* a direct call from pit_do_work to check on it as well
Each of them would go through a single code path that then calls the
ack_notifier.
That way we should be able to just maintain the old API and not get into
unpleasant surprises that only manifest on a tiny faction of systems, right?
Alternatively, feel free to remove the ack logic altogether and move all
users of it to different mechanisms (check in do_work here, additional
timer in irqfd probably).
Let's try to be as consistent as possible across different host
platforms. Otherwise the test matrix just explodes.
