Commit 66570e966dd9 (kvm: x86: only provide PV features if enabled in guest's CPUID) avoids to access pv tlb shootdown host side logic when this pv feature is not exposed to guest, however, kvm_steal_time.preempted not only leveraged by pv tlb shootdown logic but also mitigate the lock holder preemption issue. From guest's point of view, vCPU is always preempted since we lose the reset of kvm_steal_time.preempted before vmentry if pv tlb shootdown feature is not exposed. This patch fixes it by clearing kvm_steal_time.preempted before vmentry.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
