x86/cpu/amd, kvm: Satisfy guest kernel reads of IC_CFG MSR

Browse source

The kernel accesses IC_CFG MSR (0xc0011021) on AMD because it
checks whether the way access filter is enabled on some F15h
models, and, if so, disables it.

kvm doesn't handle that MSR access and complains about it, which
can get really noisy in dmesg when one starts kvm guests all the
time for testing. And it is useless anyway - guest kernel
shouldn't be doing such changes anyway so tell it that that
filter is disabled.
