KVM: x86: Don't force set BSP bit when local APIC is managed by userspace
Don't set the BSP bit in vcpu->arch.apic_base when the local APIC is managed by userspace. Forcing all vCPUs to be BSPs is non-sensical, and was dead code when it was added by commit 97222cc8 ("KVM: Emulate local APIC in kernel"). At the time, kvm_lapic_set_base() was invoked if and only if the local APIC was in-kernel (and it couldn't be called before the vCPU created its APIC). kvm_lapic_set_base() eventually gained generic usage, but the latent bug escaped notice because the only true consumer would be the guest itself in the form of an explicit RDMSRs on APs. Out of Linux, SeaBIOS, and EDK2/OVMF, only OVMF consumes the BSP bit from the APIC_BASE MSR. For the vast majority of usage in OVMF, BSP confusion would be benign. OVMF's BSP election upon SMI rendezvous might be broken, but practically no one runs KVM with an out-of-kernel local APIC, let alone does so while utilizing SMIs with OVMF.
