Yosry Ahmed adeb462cec KVM: selftests: Add a test for gPAT handling in L2
When KVM_X86_QUIRK_NESTED_SVM_SHARED_PAT is disabled, verify that KVM
correctly virtualizes the host PAT MSR and the guest PAT register for
nested SVM guests.

With nested NPT disabled:
 * L1 and L2 share the same PAT
 * The vmcb12.g_pat is ignored

With nested NPT enabled:
 * An invalid g_pat in vmcb12 causes VMEXIT_INVALID
 * RDMSR(IA32_PAT) from L2 returns the value of the guest PAT register
 * WRMSR(IA32_PAT) from L2 is reflected in vmcb12's g_pat on VMEXIT
 * RDMSR(IA32_PAT) from L1 returns the value of the host PAT MSR

Verify that save/restore with the vCPU in guest mode behaves as expected in
both cases, e.g. preserves both hPAT and gPAT when NPT is enabled.
