KVM: x86: Unconditionally enable irqs in guest context
On VMX, KVM currently does not re-enable irqs until after it has exited
the guest context. As a result, a tick that fires in the window between
VM-Exit and guest_exit_irqoff() will be accounted as system time. While
said window is relatively small, it's large enough to be problematic in
some configurations, e.g. if VM-Exits are consistently occurring a hair
earlier than the tick irq.
Intentionally toggle irqs back off so that guest_exit_irqoff() can be
used in lieu of guest_exit() in order to avoid the save/restore of flags
in guest_exit(). On my Haswell system, "nop; cli; sti" is ~6 cycles,
versus ~28 cycles for "pushf; pop <reg>; cli; push <reg>; popf".
