Currently, vmx_vcpu_run() checks if l1tf_flush_l1d is set and invokes
vmx_l1d_flush() if so.
This test is unncessary for the "always flush L1D" mode.
Move the check to vmx_l1d_flush()'s conditional mode code path.
Notes:
- vmx_l1d_flush() is likely to get inlined anyway and thus, there's no
extra function call.
- This inverts the (static) branch prediction, but there hadn't been any
explicit likely()/unlikely() annotations before and so it stays as is.
