exit_reason.bus_lock_detected may or may not be set when exit reason is
EXIT_REASON_BUS_LOCK. It is non-deterministic hardware behavior. Dealing
with KVM_RUN_X86_BUS_LOCK in handle_bus_lock_vmexit could be redundant
when exit_reason.basic is EXIT_REASON_BUS_LOCK.

We can remove redundant handling of bus lock vmexit. Set
exit_reason.bus_lock_detected (bit 26) unconditionally, and deal with
KVM_RUN_X86_BUS_LOCK only in vmx_handle_exit.
