When switching between vmcs01 and vmcs02, there is no need to update
state tracking for values that aren't tied to any particular VMCS as
the per-vCPU values are already up-to-date (vmx_switch_vmcs() can only
be called when the vCPU is loaded).

Avoiding the update eliminates a RDMSR, and potentially a RDPKRU and
posted-interrupt updated (cmpxchg64() and more).

Another typo, s/updated/update.
