[PATCH v2 25/46] KVM: VMX: Pull GUEST_CR3 from the VMCS iff CR3 load exiting is disabled

[Sean Christopherson]

Tweak the logic for grabbing vmcs.GUEST_CR3 in vmx_cache_reg() to look
directly at the execution controls, as opposed to effectively inferring
the controls based on vCPUs.  Inferring the controls isn't wrong, but it
creates a very subtle dependency between the caching logic, the state of
vcpu->arch.cr0 (via is_paging()), and the behavior of vmx_set_cr0().

Using the execution controls doesn't completely eliminate the dependency
in vmx_set_cr0(), e.g. neglecting to cache CR3 before enabling
interception would still break the guest, but it does reduce the
code dependency and mostly eliminate the logical dependency (that CR3
loads are intercepted in certain scenarios).  Eliminating the subtle
read of vcpu->arch.cr0 will also allow for additional cleanup in
vmx_set_cr0().
