KVM: nVMX: optimize prepare_vmcs02{,_full} for Enlightened VMCS case
When Enlightened VMCS is in use by L1 hypervisor we can avoid vmwriting VMCS fields which did not change. Our first goal is to achieve minimal impact on traditional VMCS case so we're not wrapping each vmwrite() with an if-changed checker. We also can't utilize static keys as Enlightened VMCS usage is per-guest. This patch implements the simpliest solution: checking fields in groups. We skip single vmwrite() statements as doing the check will cost us something even in non-evmcs case and the win is tiny. Unfortunately, this makes prepare_vmcs02_full{,_full}() code Enlightened VMCS-dependent (and a bit ugly).
