KVM: SVM: Initialize AVIC VMCB fields if AVIC is enabled with in-kernel APIC
commit 3989a6d upstream.
Initialize all per-vCPU AVIC control fields in the VMCB if AVIC is enabled
in KVM and the VM has an in-kernel local APIC, i.e. if it's _possible_ the
vCPU could activate AVIC at any point in its lifecycle. Configuring the
VMCB if and only if AVIC is active "works" purely because of optimizations
in kvm_create_lapic() to speculatively set apicv_active if AVIC is enabled
*and* to defer updates until the first KVM_RUN. In quotes because KVM
likely won't do the right thing if kvm_apicv_activated() is false, i.e. if
a vCPU is created while APICv is inhibited at the VM level for whatever
reason. E.g. if the inhibit is *removed* before KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE is
handled in KVM_RUN, then __kvm_vcpu_update_apicv() will elide calls to
vendor code due to seeing "apicv_active == activate".
Cleaning up the initialization code will also allow fixing a bug where KVM
incorrectly leaves CR8 interception enabled when AVIC is activated without
creating a mess with respect to whether AVIC is activated or not.
