KVM: VMX: Give the guest ownership of cr0.ts when the fpu is active

If the guest fpu is loaded, there is nothing interesing about cr0.ts; let
the guest play with it as it will.  This makes context switches between fpu
intensive guest processes faster, as we won't trap the clts and cr0 write
instructions.

[marcelo: fix cr0 read shadow update on fpu deactivation; kills F8 install]
