Eww, who does a double "~" with an "&"?

If you shove this done a few lines, then you can have a single set of #ifdefs,
and avoid restoring the controls a few lines later if it turns out KVM isn't
enabling the TPR shadow, e.g. (with fixup to use the more canonical ~(x | y)
pattern).

	if (!cpu_need_tpr_shadow(&vmx->vcpu))
		exec_control &= ~CPU_BASED_TPR_SHADOW;

#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
	if (exec_control & CPU_BASED_TPR_SHADOW)
		exec_control &= ~(CPU_BASED_CR8_LOAD_EXITING |
				  CPU_BASED_CR8_STORE_EXITING);
	else
		exec_control |= CPU_BASED_CR8_STORE_EXITING |
				CPU_BASED_CR8_LOAD_EXITING;
#endif
