KVM: x86: Load SMRAM in a single shot when leaving SMM



RSM emulation is currently broken on VMX when the interrupted guest has
CR4.VMXE=1.  Rather than dance around the issue of HF_SMM_MASK being set
when loading SMSTATE into architectural state, ideally RSM emulation
itself would be reworked to clear HF_SMM_MASK prior to loading non-SMM
architectural state.

Ostensibly, the only motivation for having HF_SMM_MASK set throughout
the loading of state from the SMRAM save state area is so that the
memory accesses from GET_SMSTATE() are tagged with role.smm.  Load
all of the SMRAM save state area from guest memory at the beginning of
RSM emulation, and load state from the buffer instead of reading guest
memory one-by-one.

This paves the way for clearing HF_SMM_MASK prior to loading state,
and also aligns RSM with the enter_smm() behavior, which fills a
buffer and writes SMRAM save state in a single go.
