Enable the idle HLT intercept for the L2 guest when it is available on the platform and the L2 guest can utilize the Idle HLT intercept feature. This is achieved by clearing the HLT intercept for the L1 hypervisor in the recalc_interrupts() function. The Idle HLT intercept requires that the HLT intercept is cleared and the Idle HLT intercept is set to properly enable the feature.
The nested idle halt intercept was tested by booting L1,L2 (all Linux) and checking there are only idle-hlt vmexits happened.
