Subject: [PATCH 1/3] X86/nVMX: Properly set spec_ctrl and pred_cmd before merging MSRs

These two variables should check whether SPEC_CTRL and PRED_CMD are
supposed to be passed through to L2 guests or not. While
msr_write_intercepted_l01 would return 'true' if it is not passed through.

So just invert the result of msr_write_intercepted_l01 to implement the
correct semantics.

Fixes: 086e7d4118cc ("KVM: VMX: Allow direct access to MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL")
