[PATCH v5 08/33] KVM: x86: Handle APICv updates for APIC "mode" changes via request

Use KVM_REQ_UPDATE_APICV to react to APIC "mode" changes, i.e. to handle
the APIC being hardware enabled/disabled and/or x2APIC being toggled.
There is no need to immediately update APICv state, the only requirement
is that APICv be updating prior to the next VM-Enter.

Making a request will allow piggybacking KVM_REQ_UPDATE_APICV to "inhibit"
the APICv memslot when x2APIC is enabled. Doing that directly from
kvm_lapic_set_base() isn't feasible as KVM's SRCU must not be held when
modifying memslots (to avoid deadlock), and may or may not be held when
kvm_lapic_set_base() is called, i.e. KVM can't do the right thing without
tracking that is rightly buried behind CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y.
