Inhibit the AVIC of the vCPU that is running nested for the duration of the
nested run, so that all interrupts arriving from both its vCPU siblings
and from KVM are delivered using normal IPIs and cause that vCPU to vmexit.
Note that unlike normal AVIC inhibition, there is no need to
update the AVIC mmio memslot, because the nested guest uses its
own set of paging tables.
That also means that AVIC doesn't need to be inhibited VM wide.
Note that in the theory when a nested guest doesn't intercept
physical interrupts, we could continue using AVIC to deliver them
to it but don't bother doing so for now. Plus when nested AVIC
is implemented, the nested guest will likely use it, which will
not allow this optimization to be used
(can't use real AVIC to support both L1 and L2 at the same time)
