KVM: SVM: Use a separate vmcb for the nested L2 guest
svm->vmcb will now point to a separate vmcb for L1 (not nested) or L2 (nested). The main advantages are removing get_host_vmcb and hsave, in favor of concepts that are shared with VMX. We don't need anymore to stash the L1 registers in hsave while L2 runs, but we need to copy the VMLOAD/VMSAVE registers from VMCB01 to VMCB02 and back. This more or less has the same cost, but code-wise nested_svm_vmloadsave can be reused. This patch omits several optimizations that are possible: - for simplicity there is some wholesale copying of vmcb.control areas which can go away. - we should be able to better use the VMCB01 and VMCB02 clean bits. - another possibility is to always use VMCB01 for VMLOAD and VMSAVE, thus avoiding the copy of VMLOAD/VMSAVE registers from VMCB01 to VMCB02 and back.
