Move the Intel PT tracking outside of the VMXON/VMXOFF helpers so that
a future patch can drop KVM's kvm_cpu_vmxoff() in favor of the kernel's
cpu_vmxoff() without an associated PT functional change, and without
losing symmetry between the VMXON and VMXOFF flows.

Barring undocumented behavior, this should have no meaningful effects
as Intel PT behavior does not interact with CR4.VMXE.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
