Flush the TLB when activating AVIC as the CPU can insert into the TLB while AVIC is "locally" disabled. KVM doesn't treat "APIC hardware disabled" as VM-wide AVIC inhibition, and so when a vCPU has its APIC hardware disabled, AVIC is not guaranteed to be inhibited. As a result, KVM may create a valid NPT mapping for the APIC base, which the CPU can cache as a non-AVIC translation. Note, Intel handles this in vmx_set_virtual_apic_mode().
