Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: x86: Remove redundant vm_entry_controls_clearbit() call
Date:   Fri, 11 Mar 2022 18:26:43 +0800

When emulating exit from long mode, EFER_LMA is cleared which lead to
efer writing emulation, which will unset VM_ENTRY_IA32E_MODE control
bit as requested by SDM. So no need to unset VM_ENTRY_IA32E_MODE again
in exit_lmode() explicitly.

In fact benefited from shadow controls mechanism, this change doesn't
eliminate vmread or vmwrite.

In case EFER isn't supported by hardware, long mode isn't supported,
so this will no break.
