KVM: x86: Fix emulation in writing cr8

In emulation of writing to cr8, one of the lowest four bits in TPR[3:0]
is kept.

According to Intel SDM 10.8.6.1(baremetal scenario):
"APIC.TPR[bits 7:4] = CR8[bits 3:0], APIC.TPR[bits 3:0] = 0";

and SDM 28.3(use TPR shadow):
"MOV to CR8. The instruction stores bits 3:0 of its source operand into
bits 7:4 of VTPR; the remainder of VTPR (bits 3:0 and bits 31:8) are
cleared.";

and AMD's APM 16.6.4:
"Task Priority Sub-class (TPS)-Bits 3 : 0. The TPS field indicates the
current sub-priority to be used when arbitrating lowest-priority messages.
This field is written with zero when TPR is written using the architectural
CR8 register.";

so in KVM emulated scenario, clear TPR[3:0] to make a consistent behavior
as in other scenarios.

This doesn't impact evaluation and delivery of pending virtual interrupts
because processor does not use the processor-priority sub-class to
determine which interrupts to delivery and which to inhibit.

Sub-class is used by hardware to arbitrate lowest priority interrupts,
but KVM just does a round-robin style delivery.
