UMWAIT and TPAUSE instructions use IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL at MSR index E1H
to determines the maximum time in TSC-quanta that the processor can reside
in either C0.1 or C0.2.

This patch emulates MSR IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL in guest and differentiate
IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL between host and guest. The variable
mwait_control_cached in arch/x86/power/umwait.c caches the MSR value, so
this patch uses it to avoid frequently rdmsr of IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL.

It's redundant to define host_umwait_control and this line, we can just use umwait_control_cached.

The bit 1 is reserved, at least, we need to do below to ensure not modifying the reserved bit:

(host_val & BIT_ULL(1))
