    x86/vmx: Don't clobber %dr6 while debugging state is lazy
    
    c/s 4f36452b63 introduced a write to %dr6 in the #DB intercept case, but the
    guests debug registers may be lazy at this point, at which point the guests
    later attempt to read %dr6 will discard this value and use the older stale
    value.
