This should be kvm_cpu_has_vmx_virtualize_apic_accesses() to match the macro, and
to match what KVM itself uses.

Carve out the guts of kvm_cpu_has_ept() into a helper isntead of copy+pasting.

This can replace the X86_FEATURE_VMX check, since KVM shouldn't report support
for virtualizing APIC accesses without VMX.

No need for a new version, I'll fixup everything when applying.
