[PATCH v11 1/2] x86/kexec: VMCLEAR VMCSs loaded on all cpus if necessary

From: Zhang Yanfei <zhangyanfei at cn.fujitsu.com>

This patch provides a way to VMCLEAR VMCSs related to guests
on all cpus before executing the VMXOFF when doing kdump. This
is used to ensure the VMCSs in the vmcore updated and
non-corrupted.
