KVM: SVM: Refresh vcpu->arch.cr{0,3} prior to invoking fastpath handler
Refresh KVM's copies of CR0 and CR3 from the VMCB prior to (potentially) invoking a fastpath handler to ensure that KVM doesn't consume stale state. While it's unlikely KVM will ever consume CR3 or CR0.{TS,MP} in the fastpath, grabbing the values from the VMCB is inexpensive, i.e. the risk of subtle bugs far outweighs the reward of deferring reads for a small subset of VM-Exits. Note, KVM doesn't currently consume CR3 or CR0.{TS,MP} in the fastpath, as KVM requires next_rip to be valid (i.e. KVM doesn't read CR3 to decode the instruction), CR0.MP is never consumed, and CR0.TS is only consumed by the full emulator.
