KVM: VMX: Open code writing vCPU's PAT in VMX's MSR handler
Open code setting "vcpu->arch.pat" in vmx_set_msr() instead of bouncing
through kvm_set_msr_common() to get to the same code in kvm_mtrr_set_msr().
This aligns VMX with SVM, avoids hiding a very simple operation behind a
relatively complicated function call (finding the PAT MSR case in
kvm_set_msr_common() is non-trivial), and most importantly, makes it clear
that not unwinding the VMCS updates if kvm_set_msr_common() isn't a bug
(because kvm_set_msr_common() can never fail for PAT).
Opportunistically set vcpu->arch.pat before updating the VMCS info so that
a future patch can move the common bits (back) into kvm_set_msr_common()
without a functional change.
Note, MSR_IA32_CR_PAT is 0x277, and is very subtly handled by
case 0x200 ... MSR_IA32_MC0_CTL2 - 1:
in kvm_set_msr_common().
