We don't do that due to !kvm_apic_accept_pic_intr(). The counter is only
about optimizing that case where we don't have to walk the whole chain,
asking every vcpu if it would like to receive the IRQ.

The point of this patch is to avoid touching vcpu structures AT ALL when
there is no interest in the NMI watchdog (normally, OSes will either
enable the WD trick for all CPUSs or keep it off).
