Subject: [PATCH 20/58] KVM: VMX: Only reload guest msrs if they are already loaded

If we set an msr via an ioctl() instead of by handling a guest exit, we
have the host state loaded, so reloading the msrs would clobber host
state instead of guest state.

This fixes a host oops (and loss of a cpu) on a guest reboot.
