[PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86: Advertise support for WRMSRNS

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

Advertise support for WRMSRNS (WRMSR non-serializing) to userspace if the
instruction is supported by the underlying CPU.  From a virtualization
perspective, the only difference between WRMSRNS and WRMSR is that VM-Exits
due to WRMSRNS set EXIT_QUALIFICATION to '1'.  WRMSRNS doesn't require a
new enabling control, shares the same basic exit reason, and behaves the
same as WRMSR with respect to MSR interception.

  WRMSR and WRMSRNS use the same basic exit reason (see Appendix C). For
  WRMSR, the exit qualification is 0, while for WRMSRNS it is 1.

Don't do anything different when emulating WRMSRNS vs. WRMSR, as KVM can't
do anything less, i.e. can't make emulation non-serializing.  The
motivation for the guest to use WRMSRNS instead of WRMSR is to avoid
immediately serializing the CPU when the necessary serialization is
guaranteed by some other mechanism, i.e. WRMSRNS being fully serializing
isn't guest-visible, just less performant.
