This can be reproduced by booting L1 guest w/ 'noapic' grub parameter, which
means that tells the kernel to not make use of any IOAPICs that may be present
in the system.

Actually external_intr variable in nested_vmx_vmexit() is the req_int_win
variable passed from vcpu_enter_guest() which means that the L0's userspace
requests an irq window. I observed the scenario (!kvm_cpu_has_interrupt(vcpu) &&
L0's userspace reqeusts an irq window) is true, so there is no interrupt which
L1 requires to inject to L2, we should not attempt to emualte "Acknowledge
interrupt on exit" for the irq window requirement in this scenario.

This patch fixes it by not attempt to emulate "Acknowledge interrupt on exit"
if there is no L1 requirement to inject an interrupt to L2.

[Added code comment to make it obvious that the behavior is not correct.
 We should do a userspace exit with open interrupt window instead of the
 nested VM exit.  This patch still improves the behavior, so it was
 accepted as a (temporary) workaround.]
