Subject: [PATCH 10/11] KVM: nSVM: Sanitize control fields copied from VMCB12

Make sure all fields used from VMCB12 in creating the VMCB02 are
sanitized, such no unhandled or reserved bits end up in the VMCB02.

The following control fields are read from VMCB12 and have bits that are
either reserved or not handled/advertised by KVM: tlb_ctl, int_ctl,
int_state, int_vector, event_inj, misc_ctl, and misc_ctl2.

The following fields do not require any extra sanitizing:
- int_ctl: bits from VMCB12 are copied bit-by-bit as needed.
- misc_ctl: only used in consistency checks (particularly NP_ENABLE).
- misc_ctl2: bits from VMCB12 are copied bit-by-bit as needed.

For the remaining fields, make sure only defined bits are copied from
VMCB12 by defining appropriate masks where needed. The only exception is
tlb_ctl, which is unused, so remove it.

Opportunisitcally move some existing definitions in svm.h around such
that they are ordered by bit position, and cleanup ignoring the lower
bits of {io/msr}pm_base_pa in __nested_copy_vmcb_control_to_cache() by
using PAGE_MASK. Also, expand the comment about the ASID being copied
only for consistency checks.
