[GIT PULL] x86/kvm: Clean up KVM's guest/host async #PF ABI, for 6.9

[Sean Christopherson]

An early(ish) pull request for 6.9 (not 6.8!) to clean up KVM's async #PF
guest/host ABI.  Due to a goof many years ago, the structure shared between
the guest and host was expanded to 68 bytes, not the intended 64 bytes (to
fit in a cache line).

Rather than document the goof, just drop the problematic 4 bytes from the
ABI as KVM-the-host never actually used them.

The following changes since commit 41bccc98fb7931d63d03f326a746ac4d429c1dd3:

  KVM: x86: Improve documentation of MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN (2024-02-06 10:59:52 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Guest-side KVM async #PF ABI cleanup for 6.9

Delete kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data.enabled to fix a goof in KVM's async #PF ABI where
the enabled field pushes the size of "struct kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data" from 64 to
68 bytes, i.e. beyond a single cache line.

The enabled field is purely a guest-side flag that Linux-as-a-guest uses to
track whether or not the guest has enabled async #PF support.  The actual flag
that is passed to the host, i.e. to KVM proper, is a single bit in a synthetic
MSR, MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN, i.e. is in a location completely unrelated to the
shared kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data structure.

Simply drop the the field and use a dedicated guest-side per-CPU variable to
fix the ABI, as opposed to fixing the documentation to match reality.  KVM has
never consumed kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data.enabled, so the odds of the ABI change
breaking anything are extremely low.
