Use the APICv enablement status to determine if APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_ABSENT needs to be set, instead of unconditionally setting the reason during initialization. Specifically, in cases where AVIC is disabled via module parameter or lack of hardware support, unconditionally setting an inhibit reason due to the absence of an in-kernel local APIC can lead to a scenario where the reason incorrectly remains set after a local APIC has been created by either KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP or the enabling of KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP_SPLIT. This is because the helpers in charge of removing the inhibit return early if enable_apicv is not true, and therefore the bit remains set. This leads to confusion as to the cause why APICv is not active, since an incorrect reason will be reported by tracepoints and/or a debugging tool that examines the currently set inhibit reasons.
