[PATCHv4 01/11] KVM: nSVM: Don't sync vmcb02 V_IRQ back to vmcb12 if KVM (L0) is intercepting VINTR

From: Santosh Shukla <Santosh.Shukla@xxxxxxx>

Don't sync vmcb02 V_IRQ back to vmcb12 if KVM (L0) is intercepting
virtual interrupts in order to request an interrupt window, as KVM
has usurped vmcb02's int_ctl. If an interrupt window opens before
the next VM-Exit, svm_clear_vintr() will restore vmcb12's int_ctl.
If no window opens, V_IRQ will be correctly preserved in vmcb12's
int_ctl (because it was never recognized while L2 was running).
