KVM: nVMX: Immediately refresh APICv controls as needed on nested VM-Exit

[ Upstream commit 29763138830916f46daaa50e83e7f4f907a3236b ]

If an APICv status updated was pended while L2 was active, immediately
refresh vmcs01's controls instead of pending KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE as
kvm_vcpu_update_apicv() only calls into vendor code if a change is
necessary.

E.g. if APICv is inhibited, and then activated while L2 is running:

  kvm_vcpu_update_apicv()
  |
  -> __kvm_vcpu_update_apicv()
     |
     -> apic->apicv_active = true
      |
      -> vmx_refresh_apicv_exec_ctrl()
         |
         -> vmx->nested.update_vmcs01_apicv_status = true
          |
          -> return

Then L2 exits to L1:

  __nested_vmx_vmexit()
  |
  -> kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE)

  vcpu_enter_guest(): KVM_REQ_APICV_UPDATE
  -> kvm_vcpu_update_apicv()
     |
     -> __kvm_vcpu_update_apicv()
        |
        -> return // because if (apic->apicv_active == activate)
