kvm: nVMX: Relax guest IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL constraints
Commit 37e4c997 ("KVM: VMX: validate individual bits of guest MSR_IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL") broke the KVM_SET_MSRS ABI by instituting new constraints on the data values that kvm would accept for the guest MSR, IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL. Perhaps these constraints should have been opt-in via a new KVM capability, but they were applied indiscriminately, breaking at least one existing hypervisor. Relax the constraints to allow either or both of FEATURE_CONTROL_VMXON_ENABLED_OUTSIDE_SMX and FEATURE_CONTROL_VMXON_ENABLED_INSIDE_SMX to be set when nVMX is enabled. This change is sufficient to fix the aforementioned breakage.
