According to the Intel SDM, "virtualize x2APIC mode" and "virtualize
APIC accesses" can't be enabled at the same time, or else a
vm{launch/entry} failure will happen. This was seen when running Xen
nested and with x2APIC enabled:

Dec 23 20:06:54.444025 (XEN) d3v0 VMLAUNCH error: 0x7
[...]
Dec 23 20:08:33.004078 (XEN) *** Control State ***
Dec 23 20:08:33.004086 (XEN) PinBased=0000003f CPUBased=b6a075fe SecondaryExec=000014fb
[...]

Fix this by making sure nvmx_update_secondary_exec_control clears the
incompatible bits from the host vmcs before merging it with the nested
vmcs.

This fixes a regression reported by osstest in the
test-amd64-amd64-qemuu-nested-intel job.

It would surely have been nice to include a reference to the
offending commit, despite the bug having been latently there
before.
