[PULL 17/27] KVM: arm/arm64: GICv4: Use pending_last as a scheduling hint

From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier at arm.com>

When a vPE exits, the pending_last flag is set when there are pending
VLPIs stored in the pending table. Similarily, this flag will be set
when a doorbell interrupt fires, as it indicates the same condition.

Let's update kvm_vgic_vcpu_pending_irq() to account for that
flag as well, making a vcpu runnable when set.
