Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Don't propagate vmcs12's PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL settings
to vmcs02

Don't propagate vmcs12's VM_ENTRY_LOAD_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL to vmcs02. KVM doesn't disallow L1 from using VM_ENTRY_LOAD_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL even when KVM itself doesn't use the control, e.g. due to the various CPU errata that where the MSR can be corrupted on VM-Exit.

Preserve KVM's (vmcs01) setting to hopefully avoid having to toggle the bit in vmcs02 at a later point. E.g. if KVM is loading PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL when running L1, then odds are good KVM will also load the MSR when running L2.
