[PATCH v2 2/4] nSVM: introduce smv->nested.save to cache save area fields

[Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito]

This is useful in next patch, to avoid having temporary
copies of vmcb12 registers and passing them manually.

Right now, instead of blindly copying everything,
we just copy EFER, CR0, CR3, CR4, DR6 and DR7. If more fields
will need to be added, it will be more obvious to see
that they must be added in struct vmcb_save_area_cached and
in copy_vmcb_save_area().
