KVM: PIT: fix injection logic and count
The PIT injection logic is problematic under the following cases: 1) If there is a higher priority vector to be delivered by the time kvm_pit_timer_intr_post is invoked ps->inject_pending won't be set. This opens the possibility for missing many PIT event injections (say if guest executes hlt at this point). 2) ps->inject_pending is racy with more than two vcpus. Since there's no locking around read/dec of pt->pending, two vcpu's can inject two interrupts for a single pt->pending count. Fix 1 by using an irq ack notifier: only reinject when the previous irq has been acked. Fix 2 with appropriate locking around manipulation of pending count and irq_ack by the injection / ack paths.
