KVM: nVMX: Pull KVM L0's desired controls directly from vmcs01
When preparing controls for vmcs02, grab KVM's desired controls from vmcs01's shadow state instead of recalculating the controls from scratch, or in the secondary execution controls, instead of using the dedicated cache. Calculating secondary exec controls is eye-poppingly expensive due to the guest CPUID checks, hence the dedicated cache, but the other calculations aren't exactly free either. Explicitly clear several bits (x2APIC, DESC exiting, and load EFER on exit) as appropriate as they may be set in vmcs01, whereas the previous implementation relied on dynamic bits being cleared in the calculator. Intentionally propagate VM_{ENTRY,EXIT}_LOAD_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL from vmcs01 to vmcs02. Whether or not PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL is loaded depends on whether or not perf itself is active, so unless perf stops between the exit from L1 and entry to L2, vmcs01 will hold the desired value. This is purely an optimization as atomic_switch_perf_msrs() will set/clear the control as needed at VM-Enter, i.e. it avoids two extra VMWRITEs in the case where perf is active (versus starting with the bits clear in vmcs02, which was the previous behavior).
