KVM: x86: Omit caching logic for always-available GPRs
Except for RSP and RIP, which are held in VMX's VMCS, GPRs are always treated "available and dirtly" on both VMX and SVM, i.e. are unconditionally loaded/saved immediately before/after VM-Enter/VM-Exit. Eliminating the unnecessary caching code reduces the size of KVM by a non-trivial amount, much of which comes from the most common code paths. E.g. on x86_64, kvm_emulate_cpuid() is reduced from 342 to 182 bytes and kvm_emulate_hypercall() from 1362 to 1143, with the total size of KVM dropping by ~1000 bytes. With CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y, the numbers are even more pronounced, e.g.: 353->182, 1418->1172 and well over 2000 bytes.
