52a9fcbc73 KVM: VMX: Optimize VMX instruction error and fault handling
Rework the VMX instruction helpers using asm-goto to branch directly
to error/fault "handlers" in lieu of using __ex(), i.e. the generic
____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot().  Branching directly to fault handling
code during fixup avoids the extra JMP that is inserted after every VMX
instruction when using the generic "fault on reboot" (see commit
3901336ed9, "x86/kvm: Don't call kvm_spurious_fault() from .fixup").

Opportunistically clean up the helpers so that they all have consistent
error handling and messages.

Leave the usage of ____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() (via __ex()) in
kvm_cpu_vmxoff() and nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw() as is.  The VMXOFF
case is not a fast path, i.e. the cleanliness of __ex() is worth the
JMP, and the extra JMP in nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw() is unavoidable.

Note, VMREAD cannot get the asm-goto treatment as output operands aren't
compatible with GCC's asm-goto due to internal compiler restrictions.

1ae4de23ed KVM: VMX: remove unneeded 'asm volatile ("")' from vmcs_write64
__vmcs_writel uses volatile asm, so there is no need to insert another
one between the first and the second call to __vmcs_writel in order
to prevent unwanted code moves for 32bit targets.

89b0c9f583 KVM: VMX: Move VMX instruction wrappers to a dedicated header file
VMX has a few hundred lines of code just to wrap various VMX specific
instructions, e.g. VMWREAD, INVVPID, etc...  Move them to a dedicated
header so it's easier to find/isolate the boilerplate.

With this change, more inlines can be moved from vmx.c to vmx.h.
