KVM: x86: Mitigate the cross-thread return address predictions bug

By default, KVM/SVM will intercept attempts by the guest to transition
out of C0. However, the KVM_CAP_X86_DISABLE_EXITS capability can be used
by a VMM to change this behavior. To mitigate the cross-thread return
address predictions bug (X86_BUG_SMT_RSB), a VMM must not be allowed to
override the default behavior to intercept C0 transitions.

Use a module parameter to control the mitigation on processors that are
vulnerable to X86_BUG_SMT_RSB. If the processor is vulnerable to the
X86_BUG_SMT_RSB bug and the module parameter is set to mitigate the bug,
KVM will not allow the disabling of the HLT, MWAIT and CSTATE exits.
