KVM: nVMX: Don't "put" vCPU or host state when switching VMCS
When switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02, KVM isn't actually switching between guest and host. If guest state is already loaded (the likely, if not guaranteed, case), keep the guest state loaded and manually swap the loaded_cpu_state pointer after propagating saved host state to the new vmcs0{1,2}. Avoiding the switch between guest and host reduces the latency of switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02 by several hundred cycles, and reduces the roundtrip time of a nested VM by upwards of 1000 cycles.
