[PATCH] KVM: VMX: Disable Intel PT before VM-entry

[Luwei Kang]

If the logical processor is operating with Intel PT enabled (
IA32_RTIT_CTL.TraceEn = 1) at the time of VM entry, the âload
IA32_RTIT_CTLâ VM-entry control must be 0(SDM 26.2.1.1).

The first disabled the host Intel PT(Clear TraceEn) will make all the
buffered packets are flushed out of the processor and it may cause
an Intel PT PMI. The host Intel PT will be re-enabled in the host Intel
PT PMI handler.

handle_pmi_common()
    -> intel_pt_interrupt()
            -> pt_config_start()

This patch will disable the Intel PT twice to make sure the Intel PT
is disabled before VM-Entry.
