KVM: SEV-ES: Use V_TSC_AUX if available instead of RDTSC/MSR_TSC_AUX intercepts
The TSC_AUX virtualization feature allows AMD SEV-ES guests to securely use TSC_AUX (auxiliary time stamp counter data) in the RDTSCP and RDPID instructions. The TSC_AUX value is set using the WRMSR instruction to the TSC_AUX MSR (0xC0000103). It is read by the RDMSR, RDTSCP and RDPID instructions. If the read/write of the TSC_AUX MSR is intercepted, then RDTSCP and RDPID must also be intercepted when TSC_AUX virtualization is present. However, the RDPID instruction can't be intercepted. This means that when TSC_AUX virtualization is present, RDTSCP and TSC_AUX MSR read/write must not be intercepted for SEV-ES (or SEV-SNP) guests.
