KVM: vmx: skip VMWRITE of HOST_{FS,GS}_BASE when possible
The host's FS.base and GS.base rarely change, e.g. ~0.1% of host/guest swaps on my system. Cache the last value written to the VMCS and skip the VMWRITE to the associated VMCS fields when loading host state if the value hasn't changed since the last VMWRITE.
