KVM: nVMX: Split VM-Exit reflection logic into L0 vs. L1 wants

Split the logic that determines whether a nested VM-Exit is reflected
into L1 into "L0 wants" and "L1 wants" to document the core control flow
at a high level.  If L0 wants the VM-Exit, e.g. because the exit is due
to a hardware event that isn't passed through to L1, then KVM should
handle the exit in L0 without considering L1's configuration.  Then, if
L0 doesn't want the exit, KVM needs to query L1's wants to determine
whether or not L1 "caused" the exit, e.g. by setting an exiting control,
versus the exit occurring due to an L0 setting, e.g. when L0 intercepts
an action that L1 chose to pass-through.

Note, this adds an extra read on vmcs.VM_EXIT_INTR_INFO for exception.
This will be addressed in a future patch via a VMX-wide enhancement,
rather than pile on another case where vmx->exit_intr_info is
conditionally available.
