A VCPU might never stop if it intercepts (for whatever reason) between
"fake interrupt delivery" and execution of the stop function.
Heart of the problem is that SIGP STOP is an interrupt that has to be
processed on every SIE entry until the VCPU finally executes the stop
function.
This problem was made apparent by commit 7dfc63cf97
(KVM: s390: allow only one SIGP STOP (AND STORE STATUS) at a time).
With the old code, the guest could (incorrectly) inject SIGP STOPs
multiple times. The bug of losing a sigp stop exists in KVM before
7dfc63cf97, but it was hidden by Linux guests doing a sigp stop loop.
The new code (rightfully) returns CC=2 and does not queue a new
interrupt.
This patch is a simple fix of the problem. Longterm we are going to
rework that code - e.g. get rid of the action bits and so on.
