KVM: SVM: Recalc instructions intercepts when EFER.SVME is toggled

Browse source

The AMD APM states that VMRUN, VMLOAD, VMSAVE, CLGI, VMMCALL, and
INVLPGA instructions should generate a #UD when EFER.SVME is cleared.
Currently, when VMLOAD, VMSAVE, or CLGI are executed in L1 with
EFER.SVME cleared, no #UD is generated in certain cases. This is because
the intercepts for these instructions are cleared based on whether or
not vls or vgif is enabled. The #UD fails to be generated when the
intercepts are absent.

Fix the missing #UD generation by ensuring that all relevant
instructions have intercepts set when SVME.EFER is disabled.

VMMCALL is special because KVM's ABI is that VMCALL/VMMCALL are always
supported for L1 and never fault.
