KVM: VMX: Cache IA32_DEBUGCTL in memory
MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR is zeroed on VMEXIT, so it is saved/restored each
time during world switch. This patch caches the host IA32_DEBUGCTL MSR
and saves/restores the host IA32_DEBUGCTL msr when guest/host switches
to avoid to save/restore each time during world switch. This saves
about 100 clock cycles per vmexit.
