KVM: nVMX: Skip MMU sync on nested VMX transition when possible 

Skip the MMU sync when reusing a cached root if EPT is enabled or L1
enabled VPID for L2.

If EPT is enabled, guest-physical mappings aren't flushed even if VPID
is disabled, i.e. L1 can't expect stale TLB entries to be flushed if it
has enabled EPT and L0 isn't shadowing PTEs (for L1 or L2) if L1 has
EPT disabled.

If VPID is enabled (and EPT is disabled), then L1 can't expect stale TLB
entries to be flushed (for itself or L2).

/*
* Returns true if the MMU needs to be sync'd on nested VM-Enter/VM-Exit.
* tl;dr: the MMU needs a sync if L0 is using shadow paging and L1 didn't
* enable VPID for L2 (implying it expects a TLB flush on VMX transitions).
* Here's why.
*
* If EPT is enabled by L0 a sync is never needed:
* - if it is disabled by L1, then L0 is not shadowing L1 or L2 PTEs, there
* cannot be unsync'd SPTEs for either L1 or L2.
*
* - if it is also enabled by L1, then L0 doesn't need to sync on VM-Enter
* VM-Enter as VM-Enter isn't required to invalidate guest-physical mappings
* (irrespective of VPID), i.e. L1 can't rely on the (virtual) CPU to flush
* stale guest-physical mappings for L2 from the TLB. And as above, L0 isn't
* shadowing L1 PTEs so there are no unsync'd SPTEs to sync on VM-Exit.
*
* If EPT is disabled by L0:
* - if VPID is enabled by L1 (for L2), the situation is similar to when L1
* enables EPT: L0 doesn't need to sync as VM-Enter and VM-Exit aren't
* required to invalidate linear mappings (EPT is disabled so there are
* no combined or guest-physical mappings), i.e. L1 can't rely on the
* (virtual) CPU to flush stale linear mappings for either L2 or itself (L1).
*
* - however if VPID is disabled by L1, then a sync is needed as L1 expects all
* linear mappings (EPT is disabled so there are no combined or guest-physical
* mappings) to be invalidated on both VM-Enter and VM-Exit.
*
* Note, this logic is subtly different than nested_has_guest_tlb_tag(), which
* additionally checks that L2 has been assigned a VPID (when EPT is disabled).
* Whether or not L2 has been assigned a VPID by L0 is irrelevant with respect
* to L1's expectations, e.g. L0 needs to invalidate hardware TLB entries if L2
* doesn't have a unique VPID to prevent reusing L1's entries (assuming L1 has
* been assigned a VPID), but L0 doesn't need to do a MMU sync because L1
* doesn't expect stale (virtual) TLB entries to be flushed, i.e. L1 doesn't
* know that L0 will flush the TLB and so L1 will do INVVPID as needed to flush
* stale TLB entries, at which point L0 will sync L2's MMU.
