Subject: [PATCH v5 3/5] KVM: x86: dump_vmcs should consider only the load controls of EFER/PAT

When deciding whether to dump the GUEST_IA32_EFER and GUEST_IA32_PAT
fields of the VMCS, examine only the VM entry load controls, as saving
on VM exit has no effect on whether VM entry succeeds or fails.
