Liran Alon b11494bcab KVM: nVMX: Do not mark vmcs02->apic_access_page as dirty when unpinning
vmcs->apic_access_page is simply a token that the hypervisor puts into
the PFN of a 4KB EPTE (or PTE if using shadow-paging) that triggers
APIC-access VMExit or APIC virtualization logic whenever a CPU running
in VMX non-root mode read/write from/to this PFN.

As every write either triggers an APIC-access VMExit or write is
performed on vmcs->virtual_apic_page, the PFN pointed to by
vmcs->apic_access_page should never actually be touched by CPU.

Therefore, there is no need to mark vmcs02->apic_access_page as dirty
after unpin it on L2->L1 emulated VMExit or when L1 exit VMX operation.
