    Preempt can occur in the preemption timer expiration handler:
    
              CPU0                    CPU1
    
      preemption timer vmexit
      handle_preemption_timer(vCPU0)
        kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer
          hv_timer_is_use == true
      sched_out
                               sched_in
                               kvm_arch_vcpu_load
                                 kvm_lapic_restart_hv_timer
                                   restart_apic_timer
                                     start_hv_timer
                                       already-expired timer or sw timer triggerd in the window
                                     start_sw_timer
                                       cancel_hv_timer
                               /* back in kvm_lapic_expired_hv_timer */
                               cancel_hv_timer
                                 WARN_ON(!apic->lapic_timer.hv_timer_in_use);  ==> Oops
    
    This can be reproduced if CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled.

    This patch fixes it by making the caller of cancel_hv_timer, start_hv_timer
    and start_sw_timer be in preemption-disabled regions, which trivially
    avoid any reentrancy issue with preempt notifier.
