Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] minor cleanups on efer emulation

These two patches remove some redundant code related to mode switch
and EFER emulation.

Sanity tested with kernel in L0, L1 and L2 all patched.

v2: Split to two patches and use comments from Sean to explain why
it's secure to remove them, suggested by Sean.

Zhenzhong Duan (2):
  KVM: x86: Remove unnecessory assignment to uret->data
  KVM: x86: Remove redundant vm_entry_controls_clearbit() call
