KVM: VMX: Extract checking of guest's DEBUGCTL into helper

[ Upstream commit 8a4351ac302cd8c19729ba2636acfd0467c22ae8 ]

Move VMX's logic to check DEBUGCTL values into a standalone helper so that
the code can be used by nested VM-Enter to apply the same logic to the
value being loaded from vmcs12.

KVM needs to explicitly check vmcs12->guest_ia32_debugctl on nested
VM-Enter, as hardware may support features that KVM does not, i.e. relying
on hardware to detect invalid guest state will result in false negatives.
Unfortunately, that means applying KVM's funky suppression of BTF and LBR
to vmcs12 so as not to break existing guests.

No functional change intended.
