[PATCH v5 2/7] 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 nested_copy_vmcb_save_to_cache().

_nested_copy_vmcb_save_to_cache() takes a vmcb_save_area_cached
parameter, useful when we want to save the state to a local
variable instead of svm internals.

Note that in svm_set_nested_state() we want to cache the L2
save state only if we are in normal non guest mode, because
otherwise it is not touched.
