Request event processing whenever kvm_queue_exception_vmexit() queues an
exception VM-Exit. Most callers reach the helper through
kvm_multiple_exception(), which already sets KVM_REQ_EVENT, but nested
asynchronous page faults call it directly.
Without another event request, vcpu_enter_guest() skips
kvm_check_and_inject_events() and re-enters L2. A subsequent VM-Exit can
clear the pending exception while reconstructing vectoring state, losing
the synthetic #PF VM-Exit. The APF reason remains PAGE_NOT_PRESENT and a
later regular #PF can consume the stale value.
Setting KVM_REQ_EVENT in the common helper ensures that L1 receives the
queued VM-Exit before KVM re-enters L2.

queue time")
