KVM: SVM: Don't bother checking for "running" AVIC when kicking for IPIs
Drop the avic_vcpu_is_running() check when waking vCPUs in response to a VM-Exit due to incomplete IPI delivery. The check isn't wrong per se, but it's not 100% accurate in the sense that it doesn't guarantee that the vCPU was one of the vCPUs that didn't receive the IPI. The check isn't required for correctness as blocking == !running in this context. From a performance perspective, waking a live task is not expensive as the only moderately costly operation is a locked operation to temporarily disable preemption. And if that is indeed a performance issue, kvm_vcpu_is_blocking() would be a better check than poking into the AVIC.
