KVM: SVM: Drop vcpu_svm's pointless avic_backing_page field
Drop vcpu_svm's avic_backing_page pointer and instead grab the physical address of KVM's vAPIC page directly from the source. Getting a physical address from a kernel virtual address is not an expensive operation, and getting the physical address from a struct page is *more* expensive for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y kernels. Regardless, none of the paths that consume the address are hot paths, i.e. shaving cycles is not a priority. Eliminating the "cache" means KVM doesn't have to worry about the cache being invalid, which will simplify a future fix when dealing with vCPU IDs that are too big. WARN if KVM attempts to allocate a vCPU's AVIC backing page without an in-kernel local APIC. avic_init_vcpu() bails early if the APIC is not in-kernel, and KVM disallows enabling an in-kernel APIC after vCPUs have been created, i.e. it should be impossible to reach avic_init_backing_page() without the vAPIC being allocated.
