[PATCH] kvm: x86: Print "disabled by bios" only once per host

[Erwan Velu]

The current behavior is to print a "disabled by bios" message per CPU thread.
As modern CPUs can have up to 64 cores, 128 on a dual socket, and turns this
printk to be a pretty noisy by showing up to 256 times the same line in a row.

This patch offer to only print the message once per host considering the BIOS will
disabled the feature for all sockets/cores at once and not on a per core basis.
