KVM: nVMX: initialize vmcs02 constant exactly once (per VMCS)
Add a dedicated flag to track if vmcs02 has been initialized, i.e. the constant state for vmcs02 has been written to the backing VMCS. The launched flag (in struct loaded_vmcs) gets cleared on logical CPU migration to mirror hardware behavior[1], i.e. using the launched flag to determine whether or not vmcs02 constant state needs to be initialized results in unnecessarily re-initializing the VMCS when migrating between logical CPUS. [1] The active VMCS needs to be VMCLEARed before it can be migrated to a different logical CPU. Hardware's VMCS cache is per-CPU and is not coherent between CPUs. VMCLEAR flushes the cache so that any dirty data is written back to memory. A side effect of VMCLEAR is that it also clears the VMCS's internal launch flag, which KVM must mirror because VMRESUME must be used to run a previously launched VMCS.
