Turn on interrupt window exiting unconditionally when an ExtINT is being

Browse Source 
injected into the guest. This allows the hypervisor to inject another
ExtINT or APIC vector as soon as the guest is able to process interrupts.

This change is not to address any correctness issue but to guarantee that
any pending APIC vector that was preempted by the ExtINT will be injected
as soon as possible. Prior to this change such pending interrupts could be
delayed until the next VM exit.
