svm_copy_vmrun_state() should gate copying s_cet, isst_addr, and ssp on
guest_cpu_cap_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_SHSTK) (i.e. the feature is advertised
to the guest), without which the shadow stack MSRs cannot be set. Instead,
copying is gated on kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_SHSTK) (i.e. the host
supports shadow stacks).

Check guest_cpu_cap_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_SHSTK) instead of
kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_SHSTK) in svm_copy_vmrun_state().

v1 -> v2:
 - Drop confusing nested_vmcb02_prepare_save() and
   nested_svm_vmexit_update_vmcb12() examples and note that the shadow stack
   MSRs cannot be set without guest_cpu_cap_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_SHSTK) [Yosry]
