KVM/VMX: Use BT+JNC, i.e. EFLAGS.CF to select VMRESUME vs. VMLAUNCH

Use EFLAGS.CF instead of EFLAGS.ZF to track whether to use VMRESUME versus
VMLAUNCH. Freeing up EFLAGS.ZF will allow doing VERW, which clobbers ZF,
for MDS mitigations as late as possible without needing to duplicate VERW
for both paths.

KVM: VMX: Prevent guest RSB poisoning attacks with eIBRS

On eIBRS systems, the returns in the vmexit return path from
__vmx_vcpu_run() to vmx_vcpu_run() are exposed to RSB poisoning attacks.

Fix that by moving the post-vmexit spec_ctrl handling to immediately
after the vmexit.

KVM: VMX: Convert launched argument to flags

Convert __vmx_vcpu_run()'s 'launched' argument to 'flags', in
preparation for doing SPEC_CTRL handling immediately after vmexit, which
will need another flag.

This is much easier than adding a fourth argument, because this code
supports both 32-bit and 64-bit, and the fourth argument on 32-bit would
have to be pushed on the stack.

Note that __vmx_vcpu_run_flags() is called outside of the noinstr
critical section because it will soon start calling potentially
traceable functions.
