On nested VMRUN, KVM ensures AVIC is inhibited by requesting
KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE, triggering a check of inhibit reasons, finding
APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_NESTED, and disabling AVIC.
However, when KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE is performed on a vCPU not in guest
mode with AVIC enabled, KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE is not requested, and AVIC
is not inhibited.
Request KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE in the KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE path if AVIC is
active, similar to the nested VMRUN path.
Fixes: f44509f849fe ("KVM: x86: SVM: allow AVIC to co-exist with a nested guest running")
