[PATCH v3 03/15] KVM: VMX: Recompute "XSAVES enabled" only after CPUID update

[Sean Christopherson]

Recompute whether or not XSAVES is enabled for the guest only if the
guest's CPUID model changes instead of redoing the computation every time
KVM generates vmcs01's secondary execution controls.  The boot_cpu_has()
and cpu_has_vmx_xsaves() checks should never change after KVM is loaded,
and if they do the kernel/KVM is hosed.

Opportunistically add a comment explaining _why_ XSAVES is effectively
exposed to the guest if and only if XSAVE is also exposed to the guest.

Practically speaking, no functional change intended (KVM will do fewer
computations, but should still see the same xsaves_enabled value whenever
KVM looks at it).
