Er, i do not understand how it works. The BP is enabled in this test case so
the debug registers are always reloaded before entering guest as
KVM_DEBUGREG_BP_ENABLED bit is always set on switch_db_regs. What did i miss?

Another impact of this fix is when vcpu is rescheduled we need to always reload
debug registers even if guest does not enable it, it is really needed?
