Sean Christopherson a7a308f863 KVM: x86: Initialize guest cpu_caps based on guest CPUID
Initialize a vCPU's capabilities based on the guest CPUID provided by
userspace instead of simply zeroing the entire array.  This is the first
step toward using cpu_caps to query *all* CPUID-based guest capabilities,
i.e. will allow converting all usage of guest_cpuid_has() to
guest_cpu_cap_has().

Zeroing the array was the logical choice when using cpu_caps was opt-in,
e.g. "unsupported" was generally a safer default, and the whole point of
governed features is that KVM would need to check host and guest support,
i.e. making everything unsupported by default didn't require more code.

But requiring KVM to manually "enable" every CPUID-based feature in
cpu_caps would require an absurd amount of boilerplate code.

Follow existing CPUID/kvm_cpu_caps nomenclature where possible, e.g. for
the change() and clear() APIs.  Replace check_and_set() with constrain()
to try and capture that KVM is constraining userspace's desired guest
feature set based on KVM's capabilities.

This is intended to be gigantic nop, i.e. should not have any impact on
guest or KVM functionality.

This is also an intermediate step; a future commit will also incorporate
KVM support into the vCPU's cpu_caps before converting guest_cpuid_has()
to guest_cpu_cap_has().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
