This patch fix bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61411
TPR shadow/threshold feature is important to speed up the Windows guest.
Besides, it is a must feature for certain VMM.
We map virtual APIC page address and TPR threshold from L1 VMCS. If
TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD VM exit is triggered by L2 guest and L1 interested
in, we inject it into L1 VMM for handling.

v5 -> v6:
* fix bisect issue
v4 -> v5:
* moving the nested_vmx_failValid call inside the "if
(!vmx->nested.virtual_apic_page)"
v3 -> v4:
* add Paolo's Reviewed-by
* unconditionally fail the vmentry, with a comment
* setup the TPR_SHADOW/virtual_apic_page of vmcs02 based on vmcs01 if L2 owns
the APIC
v2 -> v3:
* nested vm entry failure if both tpr shadow and cr8 exiting bits are not set
v1 -> v2:
* don't take L0's "virtualize APIC accesses" setting into account
* virtual_apic_page do exactly the same thing that is done for apic_access_page
* add the tpr threshold field to the read-write fields for shadow VMCS
