[PATCH v3 08/62] KVM: SVM: Drop pointless masking of default APIC base when setting V_APIC_BAR

Drop VMCB_AVIC_APIC_BAR_MASK, it's just a regurgitation of the maximum
theoretical 4KiB-aligned physical address, i.e. is not novel in any way,
and its only usage is to mask the default APIC base, which is 4KiB aligned
and (obviously) a legal physical address.

No functional change intended.
