KVM: nVMX: Do not expose MPX VMX controls when guest MPX disabled
Before this commit, KVM exposes MPX VMX controls to L1 guest only based on if KVM and host processor supports MPX virtualization. However, these controls should be exposed to guest only in case guest vCPU supports MPX. Without this change, a L1 guest running with kernel which don't have commit 691bd434 ("kvm: vmx: allow host to access guest MSR_IA32_BNDCFGS") asserts in QEMU on the following: qemu-kvm: error: failed to set MSR 0xd90 to 0x0 qemu-kvm: .../qemu-2.10.0/target/i386/kvm.c:1801 kvm_put_msrs: Assertion 'ret == cpu->kvm_msr_buf->nmsrs failed' This is because L1 KVM kvm_init_msr_list() will see that vmx_mpx_supported() (As it only checks MPX VMX controls support) and therefore KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST IOCTL will include MSR_IA32_BNDCFGS. However, later when L1 will attempt to set this MSR via KVM_SET_MSRS IOCTL, it will fail because !guest_cpuid_has_mpx(vcpu). Therefore, fix the issue by exposing MPX VMX controls to L1 guest only when vCPU supports MPX.
