KVM: x86: Explicitly configure supported XSS from {svm,vmx}_set_cpu_caps()
commit f8ade83 upstream.
Explicitly configure KVM's supported XSS as part of each vendor's setup
flow to fix a bug where clearing SHSTK and IBT in kvm_cpu_caps, e.g. due
to lack of CET XFEATURE support, makes kvm-intel.ko unloadable when nested
VMX is enabled, i.e. when nested=1. The late clearing results in
nested_vmx_setup_{entry,exit}_ctls() clearing VM_{ENTRY,EXIT}_LOAD_CET_STATE
when nested_vmx_setup_ctls_msrs() runs during the CPU compatibility checks,
ultimately leading to a mismatched VMCS config due to the reference config
having the CET bits set, but every CPU's "local" config having the bits
cleared.
Note, kvm_caps.supported_{xcr0,xss} are unconditionally initialized by
kvm_x86_vendor_init(), before calling into vendor code, and not referenced
between ops->hardware_setup() and their current/old location.
