KVM: VMX: fix vmwrite to invalid VMCS
fpu_activate is called outside of vcpu_load(), which means it should not
touch VMCS, but fpu_activate needs to. Avoid the call by moving it to a
point where we know that the guest needs eager FPU and VMCS is loaded.
This will get rid of the following trace
vmwrite error: reg 6800 value 0 (err 1)

(Note: we also unconditionally activate FPU in vmx_vcpu_reset(), so the
removed code added nothing.)
