KVM: Fix x86 emulator writeback
When the old value and new one are the same the emulator skips the
write; this is undesirable when the destination is a MMIO area and the
write shall be performed regardless of the previous value. This
optimization breaks e.g. a Linux guest APIC compiled without
X86_GOOD_APIC.
Remove the check and perform the writeback stage in the emulation unless
it's explicitly disabled (currently push and some 2 bytes instructions
may disable the writeback).
