KVM: VMX: remove WARN_ON_ONCE in kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt
commit 5753743fa5108b8f98bd61e40dc63f641b26c768 upstream. WARN_ON_ONCE(pi_test_sn(&vmx->pi_desc)) in kvm_vcpu_trigger_posted_interrupt() intends to detect the violation of invariant that VT-d PI notification event is not suppressed when vcpu is in the guest mode. Because the two checks for the target vcpu mode and the target suppress field cannot be performed atomically, the target vcpu mode may change in between. If that does happen, WARN_ON_ONCE() here may raise false alarms. As the previous patch fixed the real invariant breaker, remove this WARN_ON_ONCE() to avoid false alarms, and document the allowed cases instead.
