kvm: Fix IRQ injection into full queue

User space may only inject interrupts during kvm_arch_pre_run if
ready_for_interrupt_injection is set in kvm_run. But that field is
updated on exit from KVM_RUN, so we must ensure that we enter the
kernel after potentially queuing an interrupt, otherwise we risk to
loose one - like it happens with the current code against latest
kernel modules (since kvm-86) that started to queue only a single
interrupt.

Fix the problem by reordering kvm_cpu_exec.

Credits go to Gleb Natapov for analyzing the issue in details.
