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.
