x86/kvm: Expose X86_FEATURE_MD_CLEAR to guests
commit 6c4dbbd1 upstream X86_FEATURE_MD_CLEAR is a new CPUID bit which is set when microcode provides the mechanism to invoke a flush of various exploitable CPU buffers by invoking the VERW instruction. Hand it through to guests so they can adjust their mitigations. This also requires corresponding qemu changes, which are available separately.
