The function to update APICv on/off state (in particular, to deactivate
it when enabling Hyper-V SynIC), used to be incomplete: it didn't adjust
APICv-related fields among secondary processor-based VM-execution
controls.

As a result, Windows 2012 guests would get stuck when SynIC-based
auto-EOI interrupt intersected with e.g. an IPI in the guest.

In addition, the MSR intercept bitmap wasn't updated to correspond to
whether "virtualize x2APIC mode" was enabled.  This path used not to be
triggered, since Windows didn't use x2APIC but rather their own
synthetic APIC access MSRs; however it represented a security risk
because the guest running in a SynIC-enabled VM could switch to x2APIC
and thus obtain direct access to host APIC MSRs (thanks to Yang Zhang
<yang.zhang.wz@xxxxxxxxx> for spotting this).

The patch fixes those omissions.

v2 -> v3:
  - only switch to x2apic msr bitmap if virtualize x2apic mode is on in vmcs

v1 -> v2:
  - only update relevant bits in the secondary exec control
  - update msr intercept bitmap (also make x2apic msr bitmap always
    correspond to APICv)

In current KVM, it will enable virtualize x2apic mode only when enable_apicv is enabled. So this change seems unnecessary.

Except this minor comment, the other part is :
