Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: x86: Fix the intel_pt PMI handling wrongly considered from guest

When kernel handles the vm-exit caused by external interrupts and NMI,
it always set a type of kvm_intr_type to handling_intr_from_guest to
tell if it's dealing an IRQ or NMI. For the PMI scenario, it could be
IRQ or NMI.
However the intel_pt PMI certainly is a NMI PMI, hence using
kvm_handling_nmi_from_guest() to distinguish if the intel_pt PMI comes
from guest is more appropriate. This modification can avoid the host
wrongly considered the intel_pt PMI comes from a guest once the host
intel_pt PMI breaks the handling of vm-exit of external interrupts.

Fixes: db215756ae59 ("KVM: x86: More precisely identify NMI from guest when handling PMI")

v1->v2:
1.Fix vmx_handle_intel_pt_intr() directly instead of changing the generic function.
2.Tune the commit message.
