kvm_vcpu_check_block is called while not in TASK_RUNNING, and therefore
cannot sleep. Writing to guest memory is therefore forbidden, but it
can happen if kvm_check_nested_events causes a vmexit.
Fortunately, all events that are caught by kvm_check_nested_events are
also handled by kvm_vcpu_has_events through vendor callbacks such as
kvm_x86_interrupt_allowed or kvm_x86_ops.nested_ops->has_events, so
remove the call.
