[V2 PATCH 4/8] KVM: selftests: x86: Precompute the result for is_{intel,amd}_cpu()

[Vishal Annapurve]

Cache the vendor CPU type in a global variable so that multiple calls
to is_intel_cpu() do not need to re-execute CPUID.

Add cpu vendor check in kvm_hypercall() so that it executes correct
vmcall/vmmcall instruction when running on Intel/AMD hosts. This avoids
exit to KVM which anyway tries to patch the instruction according to
the cpu type.

As part of this change, sync the global variable is_cpu_amd into the
guest so the guest can determine which hypercall instruction to use
without needing to re-execute CPUID for every hypercall.
