KVM: x86: Remove defunct setting of XCR0 for guest during vCPU create

Browse source

Drop code to initialize XCR0 during fx_init(), a.k.a. vCPU creation, as
XCR0 has been initialized during kvm_vcpu_reset() (for RESET) since
commit a554d207dc ("KVM: X86: Processor States following Reset or INIT").

Back when XCR0 support was added by commit 2acf923e38 ("KVM: VMX:
Enable XSAVE/XRSTOR for guest"), KVM didn't differentiate between RESET
and INIT.  Ignoring the fact that calling fx_init() for INIT is obviously
wrong, e.g. FPU state after INIT is not the same as after RESET, setting
XCR0 in fx_init() was correct.

Eventually fx_init() got moved to kvm_arch_vcpu_init(), a.k.a. vCPU
creation (ignore the terrible name) by commit 0ee6a51725 ("x86/fpu,
kvm: Simplify fx_init()").  Finally, commit 95a0d01eef ("KVM: x86: Move
all vcpu init code into kvm_arch_vcpu_create()") killed off
kvm_arch_vcpu_init(), leaving behind the oddity of redundant setting of
guest state during vCPU creation.

No functional change intended.
