If a timer fires after kvm_inject_pending_timer_irqs() but before
local_irq_disable() the code will enter guest mode and only inject such
timer interrupt the next time an unrelated event causes an exit.

It would be simpler if the timer->pending irq conversion could be done
with IRQ's disabled, so that the above problem cannot happen.

For now introduce a new vcpu requests bit to cancel guest entry.
