[RFC 25/55] KVM: arm/arm64: Let vcpu thread modify its own active state

Show key headers only | View raw

Currently, if a vcpu thread tries to change its own active state when
the irq is already in AP list, it'll loop forever. Since the VCPU thread
has already synced back LR state to the struct vgic_irq, let it modify
its own state safely.
