KVM: SVM: add module param to control the #SMI interception
In theory there are no side effects of not intercepting #SMI, because then #SMI becomes transparent to the OS and the KVM. Plus an observation on recent Zen2 CPUs reveals that these CPUs ignore #SMI interception and never deliver #SMI VMexits. This is also useful to test nested KVM to see that L1 handles #SMIs correctly in case when L1 doesn't intercept #SMI. Finally the default remains the same, the SMI are intercepted by default thus this patch doesn't have any effect unless non default module param value is used.
