KVM: x86: Avoid double RDPKRU when loading host/guest PKRU
Use the raw wrpkru() helper when loading the guest/host's PKRU on switch
to/from guest context, as the write_pkru() wrapper incurs an unnecessary
rdpkru(). In both paths, KVM is guaranteed to have performed RDPKRU since
the last possible write, i.e. KVM has a fresh cache of the current value
in hardware.
This effectively restores KVM's behavior to that of KVM prior to commit
c806e88 ("x86/pkeys: Provide *pkru() helpers"), which renamed the raw
helper from __write_pkru() => wrpkru(), and turned __write_pkru() into a
wrapper. Commit 577ff46 ("x86/fpu: Only write PKRU if it is different
from current") then added the extra RDPKRU to avoid an unnecessary WRPKRU,
but completely missed that KVM already optimized away pointless writes.
