KVM: nVMX: Flush TLB entries tagged by dest EPTP on L1<->L2 transitions



If L1 and L2 share VPID (because L1 don't use VPID or we haven't allocated
a vpid02), we need to flush TLB on L1<->L2 transitions.

Before this patch, this TLB flushing was done by vmx_flush_tlb().
If L0 use EPT, this will translate into INVEPT(active_eptp);
However, if L1 use EPT, in L1->L2 VMEntry, active EPTP is EPTP01 but
TLB entries populated by L2 are tagged with EPTP02.
Therefore we should delay vmx_flush_tlb() until active_eptp is EPTP02.

To achieve this, instead of directly calling vmx_flush_tlb() we request
it to be called by KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH which is evaluated after
KVM_REQ_LOAD_CR3 which sets the active_eptp to EPTP02 as required.

Similarly, on L2->L1 VMExit, active EPTP is EPTP02 but TLB entries
populated by L1 are tagged with EPTP01 and therefore we should delay
vmx_flush_tlb() until active_eptp is EPTP01.
