KVM: x86: Save&restore interrupt shadow mask
The interrupt shadow created by STI or MOV-SS-like operations is part of
the VCPU state and must be preserved across migration. Transfer it in
the spare padding field of kvm_vcpu_events.interrupt.
As a side effect we now have to make vmx_set_interrupt_shadow robust
against both shadow types being set. Give MOV SS a higher priority and
skip STI in that case to avoid that VMX throws a fault on next entry.
