Alignment.

Isn't the existing kvm_mpx_supported() check wrong in the sense that KVM only
needs to sync to vmcs12 if KVM and the guest both support MPX? Same would
apply to CET. Not sure it'd be a net positive in terms of performance since
guest_cpuid_has() can be quite slow, but overwriting vmcs12 fields that
technically don't exist feels wrong.
