From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx> Commit 66570e966dd9 (kvm: x86: only provide PV features if enabled in guest's CPUID) avoids to access pv tlb shootdown host side logic when this pv feature is not exposed to guest, however, kvm_steal_time.preempted not only leveraged by pv tlb shootdown logic but also mitigate the lock holder preemption issue. >From guest's point of view, vCPU is always preempted since we lose the reset of kvm_steal_time.preempted before vmentry if pv tlb shootdown feature is not exposed. This patch fixes it by clearing kvm_steal_time.preempted before vmentry.
