[PATCH v4 21/23] KVM: nVMX: Don't switch to vmcs01 when freeing a vCPU

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

Now that neither free_nested() nor vmx_vcpu_free() relies on vmcs01 being
the active VMCS, don't bother switching to L1 and thus vmcs01 when freeing
nested state.

Temporarily keep the vcpu_{load,put}() pair even though the only reason the
vCPU needed to be loaded was to be able to do vmx_switch_vmcs(), as there
was at least one *known* side effect of doing vcpu_load() that KVM was
subtly relying on (taking the vCPU off the PI wakeup list).  I.e. defer
dropping the superfluous load+put to a separate patch so that there's a
dedicated bisection point if there are more lurking dependencies.
