KVM: vmx: track host_state.loaded using a loaded_vmcs pointer
Using 'struct loaded_vmcs*' to track whether the CPU registers
contain host or guest state kills two birds with one stone.
1. The (effective) boolean host_state.loaded is poorly named.
It does not track whether or not host state is loaded into
the CPU registers (which most readers would expect), but
rather tracks if host state has been saved AND guest state
is loaded.
2. Using a loaded_vmcs pointer provides a more robust framework
for the optimized guest/host state switching, especially when
consideration per-VMCS enhancements. To that end, WARN_ONCE
if we try to switch to host state with a different VMCS than
was last used to save host state.
Resolve an occurrence of the new WARN by setting loaded_vmcs after
the call to vmx_vcpu_put() in vmx_switch_vmcs().
