[PATCH v2 5/6] KVM: x86: Unconditionally set l1tf_flush_l1d during vCPU load

Always set l1tf_flush_l1d during kvm_arch_vcpu_load() instead of setting
it only when the vCPU is being scheduled back in. The flag is processed
only when VM-Enter is imminent, and KVM obviously needs to load the vCPU
before VM-Enter, so attempting to precisely set l1tf_flush_l1d provides no
meaningful value. I.e. the flag _will_ be set either way, it's simply a
matter of when.
