Add a 'gpat' field to kvm_svm_nested_state_hdr to carry L2's guest PAT
value across save and restore.

When KVM_X86_QUIRK_NESTED_SVM_SHARED_PAT is disabled and the vCPU is in
guest mode with nested NPT enabled, save vmcb02's g_pat into the header on
KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE, and restore it on KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE.

Host-initiated accesses to IA32_PAT (via KVM_GET/SET_MSRS) always target
L1's hPAT, so they cannot be used to save or restore gPAT. The separate
header field ensures that KVM_GET/SET_MSRS and KVM_GET/SET_NESTED_STATE are
independent and can be ordered arbitrarily during save and restore.

Note that struct kvm_svm_nested_state_hdr is included in a union padded to
120 bytes, so there is room to add the gpat field without changing any
offsets.
