[PATCH v3] x86/vmx: save guest non-register state in hvm_hw_cpu



During VM forking and resetting a failed vmentry has been observed due
to the guest non-register state going out-of-sync with the guest register
state. For example, a VM fork reset right after a STI instruction can trigger
the failed entry. This is due to the guest non-register state not being saved
from the parent VM, thus the reset operation only copies the register state.

Fix this by including the guest non-register state in hvm_hw_cpu so that when
its copied from the parent VM the vCPU state remains in sync.

SVM is not currently wired-in as VM forking is VMX only and saving non-register
state during normal save/restore/migration operation hasn't been needed. If
deemed necessary in the future it can be wired in by adding a svm-substructure
to hvm_hw_cpu.

v3: Add XEN_X86_VMX flag and vmx-substructure in hvm_hw_cpu
v2: Include all CPU non-register state and fold the ops into vmx_vmcs_save &
    vmx_vmcs_restore.
Note: no sanity checking is performed on the fields to reduce the cycles during
      fuzzing.
