nvmm - Fix event commit logic
* Because DragonFly needs to do some tests after hard interrupt
disablement, possibly aborting a VM entry before the VM is actually
run. Certain assumptions made by QEMU related to event injection
might not hold. Two situations can cause events to be lost.
(1) QEMU overwrites its own event after assuming the event would be
injected when it might not be.
(2) Or nvmm overwrites an event for the same reason.
* To fix this we avoid trying to inject the event unless we are
absolutely sure that we will issue the VM entry instruction, and we
force the system call (the ioctl() actually) to restart with ERESTART
to ensure that QEMU doesn't see the ioctl() return until the event is
actually injected.
* The tests DragonFly needs to do relate to ASTs and SWIs that might be
queued via an IPI prior to VM entry. We absolutely do not want to run
the VM if any such flags are pending as it might cause other unrelated
interactive processes to stall out for too long a period of time, or
allow a signal delivery to the QEMU process to race the VM entry.
