Exempt pending triple faults, a.k.a. KVM_REQ_TRIPLE_FAULT, when asserting
that KVM didn't attempt to queue a new exception during event injection.
KVM needs to emulate the injection itself when emulating Real Mode due to
lack of unrestricted guest support (VMX) and will queue a triple fault if
that emulation fails.
Ideally the assertion would more precisely filter out the emulated Real
Mode triple fault case, but rmode.vm86_active is buried in vcpu_vmx and
can't be queried without a new kvm_x86_ops. And unlike "regular"
exceptions, triple fault cannot put the vCPU into an infinite loop; the
triple fault will force either an exit to userspace or a nested VM-Exit,
and triple fault after nested VM-Exit will force an exit to userspace.
I.e. there is no functional issue, so just suppress the warning for
triple faults.
Opportunistically convert the warning to a one-time thing, when it
fires, it fires _a lot_, and is usually user triggerable, i.e. can be
used to spam the kernel log.
