Subject: x86/vmx: Perform VERW flushing later in the VMExit path

Broken out of the following patch because this change is subtle enough on its
own.  See it for the rational of why we're moving VERW.

As for how, extend the trick already used to hold one condition in
flags (RESUME vs LAUNCH) through the POPing of GPRs.

Move the MOV CR earlier.  Intel specify flags to be undefined across it.

Encode the two conditions we want using SF and PF.  See the code comment for
exactly how.

Leave a comment to explain the lack of any content around
SPEC_CTRL_EXIT_TO_VMX, but leave the block in place.  Sods law says if we
delete it, we'll need to reintroduce it.

This is part of XSA-452 / CVE-2023-28746.
