From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@xxxxxxxxx> If nested_get_vmcs12_pages() fails to map L1's APIC_ACCESS_ADDR into L2, then it disables SECONDARY_EXEC_VIRTUALIZE_APIC_ACCESSES in vmcs02. In other words, the APIC_ACCESS_ADDR in vmcs02 is guaranteed to be written with the correct value before being consumed by hardware, drop the unneessary VMWRITE.
