x86/vlapic: clear TMR bit upon acceptance of edge-triggered interrupt to IRR

According to Intel SDM section "Interrupt Acceptance for Fixed Interrupts":
"The trigger mode register (TMR) indicates the trigger mode of the
interrupt (see Figure 10-20). Upon acceptance of an interrupt
into the IRR, the corresponding TMR bit is cleared for
edge-triggered interrupts and set for level-triggered interrupts.
If a TMR bit is set when an EOI cycle for its corresponding
interrupt vector is generated, an EOI message is sent to
all I/O APICs."

Before this patch TMR-bit was cleared on LAPIC EOI which is not what
real hardware does. This was also confirmed in KVM upstream commit
a0c9a822bf37 ("KVM: dont clear TMR on EOI").

Behavior after this patch is aligned with both Intel SDM and KVM
implementation.
