KVM: VMX: Drop intermediate "guest" field from msr_autostore

Browse source

Drop the intermediate "guest" field from vcpu_vmx.msr_autostore as the
value saved on VM-Exit isn't guaranteed to be the guest's value, it's
purely whatever is in hardware at the time of VM-Exit.  E.g. KVM's only
use of the store list at the momemnt is to snapshot TSC at VM-Exit, and
the value saved is always the raw TSC even if TSC-offseting and/or
TSC-scaling is enabled for the guest.

And unlike msr_autoload, there is no need differentiate between "on-entry"
and "on-exit".

No functional change intended.
