Don't skip the vmcall() in l2_guest_code() prior to re-entering L2, doing
so will result in L2 running to completion, popping '0' off the stack for
RET, jumping to address '0', and ultimately dying with a triple fault
shutdown.
It's not at all obvious why the test re-enters L2 and re-executes VMCALL,
but presumably it serves a purpose. The VMX path doesn't skip vmcall(),
and the test can't possibly have passed on SVM, so just do what VMX does.

I managed to forget everything but it seems my intentions were to test
two things:
- "Enter SMM during L2 execution and check that we correctly return from
it."
- "Perform save/restore while the guest is in SMM triggered during L2
execution"
the later could've been complemented with "and try running L2 after".

Well, it kind of works for me (pre-patch) :-) I do see #DF in the trace
but not #TF.

Makes sense. I can't recall how "+= 3" appeared.
