All this block:

                if (events->smi.smm_inside_nmi)
                        vcpu->arch.hflags |= HF_SMM_INSIDE_NMI_MASK;
                else
                        vcpu->arch.hflags &= ~HF_SMM_INSIDE_NMI_MASK;
                if (lapic_in_kernel(vcpu)) {
                        if (events->smi.latched_init)
                                set_bit(KVM_APIC_INIT, &vcpu->arch.apic->pending_events);
                        else
                                clear_bit(KVM_APIC_INIT, &vcpu->arch.apic->pending_events);
                }

only applies if you're in SMM, so perhaps you can move it under

	if (events->smi.smm)

?
