x86, kvm, vmx: Don't set LOAD_IA32_EFER when host and guest match
There's nothing to switch if the host and guest values are the same.
I am unable to find evidence that this makes any difference
whatsoever.

[I could see a difference on Nehalem. From 5 runs:
userspace exit, guest!=host 12200 11772 12130 12164 12327
userspace exit, guest=host 11983 11780 11920 11919 12040
lightweight exit, guest!=host 3214 3220 3238 3218 3337
lightweight exit, guest=host 3178 3193 3193 3187 3220
This passes the t-test with 99% confidence for userspace exit,
98.5% confidence for lightweight exit. - Paolo]
