    x86/HVM: never retain emulated insn cache when exiting back to guest
    
    Commit 5fcb26e69e ("x86/HVM: don't retain emulated insn cache when
    exiting back to guest") didn't go quite far enough: The insn emulator
    may itself decide to return X86EMUL_RETRY (currently for certain
    CMPXCHG failures and AVX2 gather insns), in which case we'd also exit
    back to guest context. Tie the caching to whether we have an I/O
    completion pending, instead of x86_emulate()'s return value.
