Have you looked at how this is done on Intel's APICv side?
You need to implement .set_virtual_apic_mode instead.
(look at vmx_set_virtual_apic_mode)

I also don't think you need x2apic_enabled boolean.
You can already know if a vCPU uses apic or x2apic via

kvm_get_apic_mode(vcpu);

in fact I don't think avic code should have any bookeeping in regard to x2apic/x2avic mode,
but rather kvm's apic mode  (which is read directly from apic base msr (vcpu->arch.apic_base),
should enable avic, or x2avic if possible, or inhibit avic if not possible.

e.g it should drive the bits in vmcb and such.
