KVM: VMX: Handle NMI VM-Exits in noinstr region
Move VMX's handling of NMI VM-Exits into vmx_vcpu_enter_exit() so that the NMI is handled prior to leaving the safety of noinstr. Handling the NMI after leaving noinstr exposes the kernel to potential ordering problems as an instrumentation-induced fault, e.g. #DB, #BP, #PF, etc. will unblock NMIs when IRETing back to the faulting instruction.
