This patch fix bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61411

TPR shadow/threshold feature is important to speed up the Windows guest.
Besides, it is a must feature for certain VMM.

We map virtual APIC page address and TPR threshold from L1 VMCS. If
TPR_BELOW_THRESHOLD VM exit is triggered by L2 guest and L1 interested
in, we inject it into L1 VMM for handling.
