Drop avic_set_running() in favor of calling avic_vcpu_{load,put}()
directly, and modify the block+put path to use preempt_disable/enable()
instead of get/put_cpu(), as it doesn't actually care about the current
pCPU associated with the vCPU. Opportunistically add lockdep assertions
as being preempted in avic_vcpu_put() would lead to consuming stale data,
even though doing so _in the current code base_ would not be fatal.
Add a much needed comment explaining why svm_vcpu_blocking() needs to
unload the AVIC and update the IRTE _before_ the vCPU starts blocking.

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 Restructured Text 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.
