The logic of setting the GUEST_KERNEL flag is implicitly changed here.

For the current code, the GUEST_KERNEL flag is set for !PERF_GUEST_USER,
which include both guest_in_kernel and guest_in_NMI.

With the above change, the GUEST_KERNEL flag should be only set for the
guest_in_kernel case.
IIUC, this is the series's target, right?

If so, could you please move the explanation into this patch?
For x86, the behavior has already been changed since this patch.

Thanks,
Kan
