x86/kvm/vmx: Fix VMX vs hrtimer_rearm_deferred()
Vishal reported that KVM unit test 'x2apic' started failing after commit
0e98eb14814e ("entry: Prepare for deferred hrtimer rearming").
The reason is that KVM/VMX is injecting interrupts while it has interrupts
disabled, for a context that will enable interrupts, this means that
regs->flags.X86_EFLAGS_IF == 0 and irqentry_exit() will not do the right
thing.
Notably, irqentry_exit() must not call hrtimer_rearm_deferred() when the return
context does not have IF set, because this will cause problems vs NMIs.
Therefore, fix up the state after the injection.
Fixes: 0e98eb14814e ("entry: Prepare for deferred hrtimer rearming")
