KVM: X86: Cache CR3 in prev_roots when PCID is disabled

The commit 21823fb ("KVM: x86: Invalidate all PGDs for the
current PCID on MOV CR3 w/ flush") invalidates all PGDs for the specific
PCID and in the case of PCID is disabled, it includes all PGDs in the
prev_roots and the commit made prev_roots totally unused in this case.

Not using prev_roots fixes a problem when CR4.PCIDE is changed 0 -> 1
before the said commit:

	(CR4.PCIDE=0, CR4.PGE=1; CR3=cr3_a; the page for the guest
	 RIP is global; cr3_b is cached in prev_roots)

	modify page tables under cr3_b
		the shadow root of cr3_b is unsync in kvm
	INVPCID single context
		the guest expects the TLB is clean for PCID=0
	change CR4.PCIDE 0 -> 1
	switch to cr3_b with PCID=0,NOFLUSH=1
		No sync in kvm, cr3_b is still unsync in kvm
	jump to the page that was modified in step 1
		shadow page tables point to the wrong page

It is a very unlikely case, but it shows that stale prev_roots can be
a problem after CR4.PCIDE changes from 0 to 1.  However, to fix this
case, the commit disabled caching CR3 in prev_roots altogether when PCID
is disabled.  Not all CPUs have PCID; especially the PCID support
for AMD CPUs is kind of recent.  To restore the prev_roots optimization
for CR4.PCIDE=0, flush the whole MMU (including all prev_roots) when
CR4.PCIDE changes.
