Just "KVM: SVM:" for the shortlog, please.

I don't like this change.  It's not bad code, but it'll be confusing because it
implies that it's legal for svm->vmcb to be something other than svm->vmcb01.ptr
when this is called.

If we want to guard AVIC, I'd much rather we do something like:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c b/arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c

        svm_set_intercept(svm, INTERCEPT_CR3_READ);


On a related topic, init_vmcb_after_set_cpuid() is broken for nested, it needs to
play nice with being called when svm->vmcb == &svm->nested.vmcb02, e.g. update
vmcb01 and re-merge (or just recalc?) vmcb02's intercepts.
