David Hildenbrand fe0e80befd KVM: VMX: drop vmm_exclusive module parameter
vmm_exclusive=0 leads to KVM setting X86_CR4_VMXE always and calling
VMXON only when the vcpu is loaded. X86_CR4_VMXE is used as an
indication in cpu_emergency_vmxoff() (called on kdump) if VMXOFF has to be
called. This is obviously not the case if both are used independtly.
Calling VMXOFF without a previous VMXON will result in an exception.

In addition, X86_CR4_VMXE is used as a mean to test if VMX is already in
use by another VMM in hardware_enable(). So there can't really be
co-existance. If the other VMM is prepared for co-existance and does a
similar check, only one VMM can exist. If the other VMM is not prepared
and blindly sets/clears X86_CR4_VMXE, we will get inconsistencies with
X86_CR4_VMXE.

As we also had bug reports related to clearing of vmcs with vmm_exclusive=0
this seems to be pretty much untested. So let's better drop it.

While at it, directly move setting/clearing X86_CR4_VMXE into
kvm_cpu_vmxon/off.
