KVM: x86: Move HF_NMI_MASK and HF_IRET_MASK into "struct vcpu_svm"

Browse source

Move HF_NMI_MASK and HF_IRET_MASK (a.k.a. "waiting for IRET") out of the
common "hflags" and into dedicated flags in "struct vcpu_svm".  The flags
are used only for the SVM and thus should not be in hflags.

Tracking NMI masking in software isn't SVM specific, e.g. VMX has a
similar flag (soft_vnmi_blocked), but that's much more of a hack as VMX
can't intercept IRET, is useful only for ancient CPUs, i.e. will
hopefully be removed at some point, and again the exact behavior is
vendor specific and shouldn't ever be referenced in common code.
converting VMX

No functional change is intended.
