Subject: [PATCH 09/15] KVM: SVM: Remove the unneeded code to mark available for CR3

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@linux.alibaba.com>

VCPU_EXREG_CR3 is never cleared from vcpu->arch.regs_avail in SVM so
marking available for CR3 is mere an NOP, just remove it.

And it is not required to mark it dirty since VCPU_EXREG_CR3 is neither
never cleared from vcpu->arch.regs_dirty and SVM doesn't use the dirty
information of VCPU_EXREG_CR3.
