Nested VMX: update nested paging mode on vmexit

Since SVM and VMX use different mechanism to emulate the virtual-vmentry
and virtual-vmexit, it's hard to update the nested paging mode correctly in
common code. So we need to update the nested paging mode in their respective
code path.
SVM already updates the nested paging mode on vmexit. This patch adds the same
logic in VMX side.
