KVM: nVMX: Allocate shadow vmcs
Allocate a shadow vmcs used by the processor to shadow part of the fields stored in the software defined VMCS12 (let L1 access fields without causing exits). Note we keep a shadow vmcs only for the current vmcs12. Once a vmcs12 becomes non-current, its shadow vmcs is released.
