KVM: SVM: Initialize AVIC VMCB fields if AVIC is enabled with in-kernel APIC
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.
