Zide Chen cf697e753d hv: nested: some API signature changes
No any logical changes, this patch is preparing for multiple active
VMCS12 support.

- currently it's easy to get the vmcs12 pointer from the vcpu pointer.
  In multiple active vmcs12 case, we need to explicitly add "struct
  acrn_vmcs12 *vmcs12" to certain APIs' input argument list, in order to
  get the desired vmcs12 pointer.

- merge flush_current_vmcs12() into clear_vmcs02() for multiple reasons:
  a) it's called only once; b) we don't wrap the opposite operation
  (loading vmcs12) in an API; c) this API has simple and clear logic.

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
