Subject: [PATCH 25/35] KVM: VMX: move CR3/PDPTR update to vmx_set_cr3

From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@...hat.com>

GUEST_CR3 is updated via kvm_set_cr3 whenever CR3 is modified from
outside guest context. Similarly pdptrs are updated via load_pdptrs.

Let kvm_set_cr3 perform the update, removing it from the vcpu_run
fast path.
