KVM: nVMX: keep preemption timer enabled during L2 execution
Because the vmcs12 preemption timer is emulated through a separate hrtimer, we can keep on using the preemption timer in the vmcs02 to emulare L1's TSC deadline timer. However, the corresponding bit in the pin-based execution control field must be kept consistent between vmcs01 and vmcs02. On vmentry we copy it into the vmcs02; on vmexit the preemption timer must be disabled in the vmcs01 if a preemption timer vmexit happened while in guest mode. The preemption timer value in the vmcs02 is set by vmx_vcpu_run, so it need not be considered in prepare_vmcs02.
