Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Switch svm_copy_lbrs() to a macro

In preparation for using svm_copy_lbrs() with 'struct vmcb_save_area'
without a containing 'struct vmcb', and later even 'struct
vmcb_save_area_cached', make it a macro.

Macros are generally not preferred compared to functions, mainly due to
type-safety. However, in this case it seems like having a simple macro
copying a few fields is better than copy-pasting the same 5 lines of
code in different places.
