Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: Check if bus lock vmexit was preempted

exit_reason.bus_lock_detected is not only set when bus lock VM exit 
was preempted, in fact, this bit is always set if bus locks are 
detected no matter what the exit_reason.basic is.

So the bus_lock_vmexit handling in vmx_handle_exit should be duplicated 
when exit_reason.basic is EXIT_REASON_BUS_LOCK(74). We can avoid it by 
checking if bus lock vmexit was preempted in vmx_handle_exit.
