KVM: vmx: shadow more fields that are read/written on every vmexits
Compared to when VMCS shadowing was added to KVM, we are reading/writing a few more fields: the PML index, the interrupt status and the preemption timer value. The first two are because we are exposing more features to nested guests, the preemption timer is simply because we have grown a new optimization. Adding them to the shadow VMCS field lists reduces the cost of a vmexit by about 1000 clock cycles for each field that exists on bare metal. On the other hand, the guest BNDCFGS and TSC offset are not written on fast paths, so remove them.
