KVM: nVMX: fix msr bitmaps to prevent L2 from accessing L0 x2APIC
msr bitmap can be used to avoid a VM exit (interception) on guest MSR accesses. In some configurations of VMX controls, the guest can even directly access host's x2APIC MSRs. See SDM 29.5 VIRTUALIZING MSR-BASED APIC ACCESSES. L2 could read all L0's x2APIC MSRs and write TPR, EOI, and SELF_IPI. To do so, L1 would first trick KVM to disable all possible interceptions by enabling APICv features and then would turn those features off; nested_vmx_merge_msr_bitmap() only disabled interceptions, so VMX would not intercept previously enabled MSRs even though they were not safe with the new configuration. Correctly re-enabling interceptions is not enough as a second bug would still allow L1+L2 to access host's MSRs: msr bitmap was shared for all VMCSs, so L1 could trigger a race to get the desired combination of msr bitmap and VMX controls. This fix allocates a msr bitmap for every L1 VCPU, allows only safe x2APIC MSRs from L1's msr bitmap, and disables msr bitmaps if they would have to intercept everything anyway.
