Flush only the current context, as opposed to all contexts, when
requesting a TLB flush to handle the scenario where a L1 does not expect
a TLB flush, but one is required because L1 and L2 shared an ASID. This
occurs if EPT is disabled (no per-EPTP tag), VPID is enabled (hardware
doesn't flush unconditionally) and vmcs02 does not have its own VPID due
to exhaustion of available VPIDs.
