    x86/hvm: fix interaction between internal and external emulation
    
    A call to handle_hvm_io_completion() is needed for completing I/O
    that requires external emulation. Such completion should be requested when
    hvm_vcpu_io_need_completion() returns true after hvm_emulate_once() has
    completed. This is indicative of the underlying I/O emulation having
    returned X86EMUL_RETRY and hence a re-emulation of the instruction is
    needed to pick up the result of the I/O.
    
    A call to handle_hvm_io_completion() is NOT needed when the underlying
    I/O has not returned X86EMUL_RETRY since there will be no result to pick
    up. Hence it bogus to request such completion when mmio_retry is set,
    since this can only happen if the underlying I/O emulation has returned
    X86EMUL_OKAY (meaning the I/O has completed successfully).
