KVM: x86: Drop non-raw kvm_<reg>_write() helpers
Drop the non-raw, mode-aware kvm_<reg>_write() helpers as there is no usage in KVM, and in all likelihood there will never be usage in KVM as use of hardcoded registers in instructions is uncommon, and *modifying* hardcoded registers is practically unheard of. While there are a few instructions that modify registers in mode-aware ways, e.g. REP string and some ENCLS varieties, the odds of KVM needing to emulate such instructions (outside of the fully emulator) are vanishingly small. Drop kvm_<reg>_write() to prevent incorrect usage; _if_ a new instruction comes along that needs to modify a hardcoded register, this can be reverted. No functional change intended.
