KVM: SVM: Sync TPR from LAPIC into VMCB::V_TPR even if AVIC is active
Commit 3bbf3565f48c ("svm: Do not intercept CR8 when enable AVIC") inhibited pre-VMRUN sync of TPR from LAPIC into VMCB::V_TPR in sync_lapic_to_cr8() when AVIC is active. AVIC does automatically sync between these two fields, however it does so only on explicit guest writes to one of these fields, not on a bare VMRUN. This meant that when AVIC is enabled host changes to TPR in the LAPIC state might not get automatically copied into the V_TPR field of VMCB. This is especially true when it is the userspace setting LAPIC state via KVM_SET_LAPIC ioctl() since userspace does not have access to the guest VMCB. Practice shows that it is the V_TPR that is actually used by the AVIC to decide whether to issue pending interrupts to the CPU (not TPR in TASKPRI), so any leftover value in V_TPR will cause serious interrupt delivery issues in the guest when AVIC is enabled. Fix this issue by doing pre-VMRUN TPR sync from LAPIC into VMCB::V_TPR even when AVIC is enabled.
