Introduce a host-only synthetic MSR, MSR_KVM_GUEST_SSP so that the VMM
can read/write the guest's SSP, e.g. to migrate CET state. Use a
synthetic MSR, e.g. as opposed to a VCPU_REG_, as GUEST_SSP is subject
to the same consistency checks as the PL*_SSP MSRs, i.e. can share code.

Better make this fail if !msr_info->host_initiated.
