Check for the should-be-impossible scenario of a vCPU being in
Wait-For-SIPI with INIT/SIPI blocked during KVM_RUN instead of trying to
detect and prevent illegal combinations in every ioctl that sets relevant
state. Attempting to handle every possible "set" path is a losing game of
whack-a-mole, and risks breaking userspace. E.g. INIT/SIPI are blocked on
Intel if the vCPU is in VMX Root mode (post-VMXON), and on AMD if GIF=0.
Handling those scenarios would require potentially breaking changes to
{vmx,svm}_set_nested_state().
Moving the check to KVM_RUN fixes a syzkaller-induced splat due to the
aforementioned VMXON case, and in theory should close the hole once and for
all.
Note, kvm_x86_vcpu_pre_run() already handles SIPI_RECEIVED, only the WFS
case needs additional attention.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
