[PATCH 04/13] KVM: nSVM: clean up copying of int_ctl fields back to vmcb01/vmcb12

Clean up the nested_sync_int_ctl_from_vmcb02:

1. The comment about preservation of V_IRQ is wrong: when the L2 doesn't
use virtual interrupt masking, then the field just doesn't exist in
vmcb12 thus it should not be touched at all.
Since it is unused in this case, touching it doesn't matter that much,
so the bug is theoretical.

2. When the L2 doesn't use virtual interrupt masking, then in the *theory*
if KVM uses the feature, it should copy the changes to V_IRQ* bits from
vmcb02 to vmcb01.

In practise, KVM only uses it for detection of the interrupt window,
and it happens to re-open it on each nested VM exit because
kvm_set_rflags happens to raise the KVM_REQ_EVENT.
Do this explicitly.

3. Add comment on why we don't need to copy V_GIF from vmcb02 to vmcb01
when nested guest doesn't use nested V_GIF (and thus L1's GIF is in
vmcb02 while nested), even though it can in theory affect L1's GIF.

4. Add support code to also copy some bits of int_ctl from
vmcb02 to vmcb01.
Currently there are none.

No (visible) functional change is intended.
