x86/kvm/mmu: fix switch between root and guest MMUs

Commit 14c07ad89f4d ("x86/kvm/mmu: introduce guest_mmu") brought one subtle
change: previously, when switching back from L2 to L1, we were resetting
MMU hooks (like mmu->get_cr3()) in kvm_init_mmu() called from
nested_vmx_load_cr3() and now we do that in nested_ept_uninit_mmu_context()
when we re-target vcpu->arch.mmu pointer.
The change itself looks logical: if nested_ept_init_mmu_context() changes
something than nested_ept_uninit_mmu_context() restores it back. There is,
however, one thing: the following call chain:

 nested_vmx_load_cr3()
  kvm_mmu_new_cr3()
    __kvm_mmu_new_cr3()
      fast_cr3_switch()
        cached_root_available()

now happens with MMU hooks pointing to the new MMU (root MMU in our case)
while previously it was happening with the old one. cached_root_available()
tries to stash current root but it is incorrect to read current CR3 with
mmu->get_cr3(), we need to use old_mmu->get_cr3() which in case we're
switching from L2 to L1 is guest_mmu. (BTW, in shadow page tables case this
is a non-issue because we don't switch MMU).

While we could've tried to guess that we're switching between MMUs and call
the right ->get_cr3() from cached_root_available() this seems to be overly
complicated. Instead, just stash the corresponding CR3 when setting
root_hpa and make cached_root_available() use the stashed value.
