commit b244c9fc251e14a083a1cbf04bef10bd99303a76 upstream.

With PML enabled, guest will shut down if a PML full VMEXIT occurs during event delivery. According to Intel SDM 27.2.3, PML full VMEXIT can occur when event is being delivered through IDT, so KVM should not exit to user space with error. Instead, it should let EXIT_REASON_PML_FULL go through and the event will be re-injected on the next VMENTRY.
