Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Purge "highest ISR" cache when updating APICv state

Purge the "highest ISR" cache when updating APICv state on a vCPU. The cache must not be used when APICv is active as hardware may emulate EOIs (and other operations) without exiting to KVM.

This fixes a bug where KVM will effectively block IRQs in perpetuity due to the "highest ISR" never getting reset if APICv is activated on a vCPU while an IRQ is in-service. Hardware emulates the EOI and KVM never gets a chance to update its cache.

Fixes b26a695a1d78 ("kvm: lapic: Introduce APICv update helper function")
