KVM: VMX: Reduce unnecessary saving of host msrs

THe automatically switched msrs are never changed on the host (with
the exception of MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE) and thus there is no need to save
them on every vm entry.

This reduces vmexit latency by ~400 cycles on i386 and by ~900 cycles (10%)
on x86_64.
