[PATCH] RDMSR before test_cpu_capacity brings about KVM warning

[Huaitong Han]

rdmsrl_safe does not lead to #GP in native kernel although CPU
does not support INTEL_PT, but if KVM does not support INTEL_PT,
the codes cannot understand MSR_IA32_RTIT_CTL, and the warning
is produced.

If KVM does not support INTEL_PT, its guest CPUID also does not.
So test_cpu_cap is added before RDMSR, and it is more in line with
the code style.
