[PATCH v2 37/46] KVM: VMX: Remove obsolete MSR bitmap refresh at vCPU RESET/INIT

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

Subsystem: kernel virtual machine for x86 (kvm/x86), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Sean Christopherson, Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Remove an unnecessary MSR bitmap refresh during vCPU RESET/INIT.  In both
cases, the MSR bitmap already has the desired values and state.

At RESET, the vCPU is guaranteed to be running with x2APIC disabled, the
x2APIC MSRs are guaranteed to be intercepted due to the MSR bitmap being
initialized to all ones by alloc_loaded_vmcs(), and vmx->msr_bitmap_mode
is guaranteed to be zero, i.e. reflecting x2APIC disabled.

At INIT, the APIC_BASE MSR is not modified, thus there can't be any
change in x2APIC state.
