KVM: VMX: Use LEAVE in vmx_do_interrupt_irqoff()

Micro-optimize vmx_do_interrupt_irqoff() by substituting
MOV %RBP,%RSP; POP %RBP instruction sequence with equivalent
LEAVE instruction. GCC compiler does this by default for
a generic tuning and for all modern processors:

DEF_TUNE (X86_TUNE_USE_LEAVE, "use_leave",
  m_386 | m_CORE_ALL | m_K6_GEODE | m_AMD_MULTIPLE | m_ZHAOXIN
  | m_TREMONT | m_CORE_HYBRID | m_CORE_ATOM | m_GENERIC)

The new code also saves a couple of bytes, from:

  27: 48 89 ec              mov    %rbp,%rsp
  2a: 5d                    pop    %rbp

to:

  27: c9                    leave

No functional change intended.
