[PATCH v2 24/43] KVM: VMX: Drop pointless PI.NDST update when blocking

Don't update Posted Interrupt's NDST, a.k.a. the target pCPU, in the
pre-block path, as NDST is guaranteed to be up-to-date. The comment
about the vCPU being preempted during the update is simply wrong, as the
update path runs with IRQs disabled (from before snapshotting vcpu->cpu,
until after the update completes).
The vCPU can get preempted _before_ the update starts, but not during.
And if the vCPU is preempted before, vmx_vcpu_pi_load() is responsible
for updating NDST when the vCPU is scheduled back in. In that case, the
check against the wakeup vector in vmx_vcpu_pi_load() cannot be true as
that would require the notification vector to have been set to the wakeup
vector _before_ blocking.
Opportunistically switch to using vcpu->cpu for the list/lock lookups,
which presumably used pre_pcpu only for some phantom preemption logic.
