Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Check lapic_in_kernel() before attempting to set a
SynIC irq

When KVM_CAP_HYPERV_SYNIC{,2} is activated, KVM already checks for irqchip_in_kernel() so normally SynIC irqs should never be set. It is, however, possible for a misbehaving VMM to write to SYNIC/STIMER MSRs causing erroneous behavior.

The immediate issue being fixed is that kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic() (kvm_irq_delivery_to_apic_fast()) crashes when called with 'irq.shorthand = APIC_DEST_SELF' and 'src == NULL'.
