    x86/svm: Don't clear clean bits on every context switch
    
    This is overly agressive.  The APM says:
    
      The hypervisor must clear the entire VMCB field to 0 for a guest, under 
the
      following circumstances:
    
        * The hypervisor executes the guest on a different CPU core than one 
used
          the last time that guest was executed.
    
    Clear the cleanbits only when the VMCB is used on a different pCPU rather 
than
    on every context switch to the vCPU.
