target/i386: do not set unsupported VMX secondary execution controls
Commit 048c95163b4 ("target/i386: work around KVM_GET_MSRS bug for
secondary execution controls") added a workaround for KVM pre-dating
commit 6defc591846d ("KVM: nVMX: include conditional controls in /dev/kvm
KVM_GET_MSRS") which wasn't setting certain available controls. The
workaround uses generic CPUID feature bits to set missing VMX controls.
It was found that in some cases it is possible to observe hosts which
have certain CPUID features but lack the corresponding VMX control.
In particular, it was reported that Azure VMs have RDSEED but lack
VMX_SECONDARY_EXEC_RDSEED_EXITING; attempts to enable this feature
bit result in QEMU abort.
Resolve the issue but not applying the workaround when we don't have
to. As there is no good way to find out if KVM has the fix itself, use
95c5c7c77c ("KVM: nVMX: list VMX MSRs in KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST") instead
as these [are supposed to] come together.
