KVM: x86: hyper-v: Fix 'using uninitialized value' Coverity warning

In kvm_hv_flush_tlb(), 'data_offset' and 'consumed_xmm_halves' variables
are used in a mutually exclusive way: in 'hc->fast' we count in 'XMM
halves' and increase 'data_offset' otherwise. Coverity discovered, that in
one case both variables are incremented unconditionally. This doesn't seem
to cause any issues as the only user of 'data_offset'/'consumed_xmm_halves'
data is kvm_hv_get_tlb_flush_entries() -> kvm_hv_get_hc_data() which also
takes into account 'hc->fast' but is still worth fixing.

To make things explicit, put 'data_offset' and 'consumed_xmm_halves' to
'struct kvm_hv_hcall' as a union and use at call sites. This allows to
remove explicit 'data_offset'/'consumed_xmm_halves' parameters from
kvm_hv_get_hc_data()/kvm_get_sparse_vp_set()/kvm_hv_get_tlb_flush_entries()
helpers.

Note: 'struct kvm_hv_hcall' is allocated on stack in kvm_hv_hypercall() and
is not zeroed, consumers are supposed to initialize the appropriate field
if needed.
