KVM: VMX: Refresh available regs and IDT vectoring info before NMI handling
Reset the mask of available "registers" and refresh the IDT vectoring
info snapshot in vmx_vcpu_enter_exit(), before KVM potentially handles a
an NMI VM-Exit. One of the "registers" that KVM VMX lazily loads is the
vmcs.VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO field, which is holds the vector+type on "exception
or NMI" VM-Exits, i.e. is needed to identify NMIs. Clearing the available
registers bitmask after handling NMIs results in KVM querying info from
the last VM-Exit that read vmcs.VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO, and leads to both
missed NMIs and spurious NMIs in the host.
Opportunistically grab vmcs.IDT_VECTORING_INFO_FIELD early in the VM-Exit
path too, e.g. to guard against similar consumption of stale data. The
field is read on every "normal" VM-Exit, and there's no point in delaying
the inevitable.
