KVM: x86: Remove defunct setting of CR0.ET for guests during vCPU create

Browse source

Drop code to set CR0.ET for the guest during initialization of the guest
FPU.  The code was added as a misguided bug fix by commit 380102c8e4
("KVM Set the ET flag in CR0 after initializing FX") to resolve an issue
where vcpu->cr0 (now vcpu->arch.cr0) was not correctly initialized on SVM
systems.  While init_vmcb() did set CR0.ET, it only did so in the VMCB,
and subtly did not update vcpu->cr0.  Stuffing CR0.ET worked around the
immediate problem, but did not fix the real bug of vcpu->cr0 and the VMCB
being out of sync.  That underlying bug was eventually remedied by commit
18fa000ae4 ("KVM: SVM: Reset cr0 properly on vcpu reset").

No functional change intended.
