KVM: VMX: Initialize vmcs01.VM_EXIT_MSR_STORE_ADDR with list address

Browse source

Initialize vmcs01.VM_EXIT_MSR_STORE_ADDR to point at the vCPU's
msr_autostore list in anticipation of utilizing the auto-store
functionality, and to harden KVM against stray reads to pfn 0 (or, in
theory, a random pfn if the underlying CPU uses a complex scheme for
encoding VMCS data).  The MSR auto lists are supposed to be ignored if the
associated COUNT VMCS field is '0', but leaving the ADDR field
zero-initialized in memory is an unnecessary risk (albeit a minuscule risk)
given that the cost is a single VMWRITE during vCPU creation.
