KVM: x86: never write to memory from kvm_vcpu_check_block()
kvm_vcpu_check_block() is called while not in TASK_RUNNING, and therefore it cannot sleep. Writing to guest memory is therefore forbidden, but it can happen on AMD processors if kvm_check_nested_events() causes a vmexit. Fortunately, all events that are caught by kvm_check_nested_events() are also recognized 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 and postpone the actual processing to vcpu_block(). Opportunistically honor the return of kvm_check_nested_events(). KVM punted on the check in kvm_vcpu_running() because the only error path is if vmx_complete_nested_posted_interrupt() fails, in which case KVM exits to userspace with "internal error" i.e. the VM is likely dead anyways so it wasn't worth overloading the return of kvm_vcpu_running(). Add the check mostly so that KVM is consistent with itself; the return of the call via kvm_apic_accept_events()=>kvm_check_nested_events() that immediately follows _is_ checked.
