kvm: x86: Disable interception for IA32_XFD on demand

Always intercepting IA32_XFD causes non-negligible overhead when this
register is updated frequently in the guest.

Disable r/w emulation after intercepting the first WRMSR(IA32_XFD)
with a non-zero value.

Disable WRMSR emulation implies that IA32_XFD becomes out-of-sync
with the software states in fpstate and the per-cpu xfd cache. This
leads to two additional changes accordingly:

  - Call fpu_sync_guest_vmexit_xfd_state() after vm-exit to bring
    software states back in-sync with the MSR, before handle_exit_irqoff()
    is called.

  - Always trap #NM once write interception is disabled for IA32_XFD.
    The #NM exception is rare if the guest doesn't use dynamic
    features. Otherwise, there is at most one exception per guest
    task given a dynamic feature.

p.s. We have confirmed that SDM is being revised to say that
when setting IA32_XFD[18] the AMX register state is not guaranteed
to be preserved. This clarification avoids adding mess for a creative
guest which sets IA32_XFD[18]=1 before saving active AMX state to
its own storage.
