KVM: nVMX: Cache host_rsp on a per-VMCS basis
Currently, host_rsp is cached on a per-vCPU basis, i.e. it's stored in struct vcpu_vmx. In non-nested usage the caching is for all intents and purposes 100% effective, e.g. only the first VMLAUNCH needs to synchronize VMCS.HOST_RSP since the call stack to vmx_vcpu_run() is identical each and every time. But when running a nested guest, KVM must invalidate the cache when switching the current VMCS as it can't guarantee the new VMCS has the same HOST_RSP as the previous VMCS. In other words, the cache loses almost all of its efficacy when running a nested VM. Move host_rsp to struct vmcs_host_state, which is per-VMCS, so that it is cached on a per-VMCS basis and restores its 100% hit rate when nested VMs are in play. Note that the host_rsp cache for vmcs02 essentially "breaks" when nested early checks are enabled as nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw() will see a different RSP at the time of its VM-Enter. While it's possible to avoid even that VMCS.HOST_RSP synchronization, e.g. by employing a dedicated VM-Exit stack, there is little motivation for doing so as the overhead of two VMWRITEs (~55 cycles) is dwarfed by the overhead of the extra VMX transition (600+ cycles) and is a proverbial drop in the ocean relative to the total cost of a nested transtion (10s of thousands of cycles).
