Subject: [PATCH v10 14/16] KVM: x86/vmx: Flip Arch LBREn bit on guest state change

Per spec:"IA32_LBR_CTL.LBREn is saved and cleared on #SMI, and restored
on RSM. On a warm reset, all LBR MSRs, including IA32_LBR_DEPTH, have their
values preserved. However, IA32_LBR_CTL.LBREn is cleared to 0, disabling
LBRs." So clear Arch LBREn bit on #SMI and restore it on RSM manully, also
clear the bit when guest does warm reset.
