[PATCH] KVM: x86: always allow writing '0' to MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Fri Sep 11 2020 - 05:32:04 EST


Even without in-kernel LAPIC we should allow writing '0' to
MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN as we're not enabling the mechanism. In
particular, QEMU with 'kernel-irqchip=off' fails to start
a guest with

qemu-system-x86_64: error: failed to set MSR 0x4b564d02 to 0x0

Fixes: 9d3c447c72fb2 ("KVM: X86: Fix async pf caused null-ptr-deref")
