KVM: VMX: Sanitize VM-Entry/VM-Exit control pairs at kvm_intel load time
Sanitize the VM-Entry/VM-Exit control pairs (load+load or load+clear) during setup instead of checking both controls in a pair at runtime. If only one control is supported, KVM will report the associated feature as not available, but will leave the supported control bit set in the VMCS config, which could lead to corruption of host state. E.g. if only the VM-Entry control is supported and the feature is not dynamically toggled, KVM will set the control in all VMCSes and load zeros without restoring host state. Note, while this is technically a bug fix, practically speaking no sane CPU or VMM would support only one control. KVM's behavior of checking both controls is mostly pedantry.
