Special case of disabling the APICv on the current vCPU right away in kvm_request_apicv_update doesn't bring much benefit vs raising KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE on it instead, since this request will be processed on the next entry to the guest. (the comment about having another #VMEXIT is wrong). It also hides various assumptions, that APICv enable state matches the APICv inhibit state, as this special case only makes those states match on the current vCPU. Previous patches fixed few such assumptions so now it should be safe to drop this special case.
