KVM: x86: Use "raw" APIC register read for handling APIC-write VM-Exit
Use the "raw" helper to read the vAPIC register after an APIC-write trap VM-Exit. Hardware is responsible for vetting the write, and the caller is responsible for sanitizing the offset. This is a functional change, as it means KVM will consume whatever happens to be in the vAPIC page if the write was dropped by hardware. But, unless userspace deliberately wrote garbage into the vAPIC page via KVM_SET_LAPIC, the value should be zero since it's not writable by the guest. This aligns common x86 with SVM's AVIC logic, i.e. paves the way for using the nodecode path to handle APIC-write traps when AVIC is enabled.
