[PATCH v2 4/7] KVM: x86: hyper-v: always advertise HV_STIMER_DIRECT_MODE_AVAILABLE

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

HV_STIMER_DIRECT_MODE_AVAILABLE is the last conditionally set feature bit
in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID but it doesn't have to be conditional: first,
this bit is only an indication to userspace VMM that direct mode stimers
are supported, it still requires manual enablement (enabling SynIC) to
work so no VMM should just blindly copy it to guest CPUIDs. Second,
lapic_in_kernel() is a must for SynIC. Expose the bit unconditionally.
