Checking CPUID will fix this specific scenario, but it doesn't resolve
the underlying issue of __set_sregs() ignoring the return of kvm_x86_ops'
set_cr4(), e.g. I think vmx_set_cr4() can still fail if userspace sets a
custom MSR_IA32_VMX_CR4_FIXED0 when nested VMX is on.

Checking CPUID bits but allowing unconditionally reserved bits to be set
feels wrong.

Paolo, can you provide an "official" ruling on how KVM_SET_SREGS should
interact with reserved bits? It's not at all clear from the git history
if skipping the checks was intentional or an oversight.

The CR4_RESERVED_BITS check has been in kvm_set_cr4() since the beginning
of time (commit 6aa8b732ca01, "[PATCH] kvm: userspace interface").

The first CPUID check came later, in commit 2acf923e38fb ("KVM: VMX:
Enable XSAVE/XRSTOR for guest"), but its changelog is decidedly unhelpful.

No need for a line break. Even better, call kvm_valid_cr4() from
kvm_valid_sregs(), e.g. the X86_FEATURE_XSAVE check in kvm_valid_sregs()
is now redundant and can be dropped, and "return kvm_valid_cr4(...)" from
kvm_valid_sregs() can likely be optimized into a tail call.
