Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] KVM: nVMX: expose VPID capability to L1

Expose VPID capability to L1. For nested guests, we don't do anything 
specific for single context invalidation. Hence, only advertise support 
for global context invalidation. The major benefit of nested VPID comes 
from having separate vpids when switching between L1 and L2, and also 
when L2's vCPUs not sched in/out on L1.
