KVM: x86: Drop superfluous caching of KVM_ASYNC_PF_SEND_ALWAYS
Drop kvm_vcpu_arch.apf.send_always and instead use msr_en_val as the source of truth to reduce the probability of operating on stale data. This fixes flaws where KVM fails to update send_always when APF is explicitly disabled by the guest or implicitly disabled by KVM on INIT. Absent other bugs, the flaws are benign as KVM *shouldn't* consume send_always when PV APF support is disabled. Simply delete the field, as there's zero benefit to maintaining a separate "cache" of the state. Opportunistically turn the enabled vs. disabled logic at the end of kvm_pv_enable_async_pf() into an if-else instead of using an early return, e.g. so that it's more obvious that both paths are "success" paths. Fixes: 6adba5274206 ("KVM: Let host know whether the guest can handle async PF in non-userspace context.")
