Load the guest's FPU state if userspace is accessing MSRs whose values
are managed by XSAVES. Introduce two helpers, kvm_{get,set}_xstate_msr(),
to facilitate access to such kind of MSRs.

If MSRs supported in kvm_caps.supported_xss are passed through to guest,
the guest MSRs are swapped with host's before vCPU exits to userspace and
after it reenters kernel before next VM-entry.

Because the modified code is also used for the KVM_GET_MSRS device ioctl(),
explicitly check @vcpu is non-null before attempting to load guest state.
The XSAVE-managed MSRs cannot be retrieved via the device ioctl() without
loading guest FPU state (which doesn't exist).

Note that guest_cpuid_has() is not queried as host userspace is allowed to
access MSRs that have not been exposed to the guest, e.g. it might do
KVM_SET_MSRS prior to KVM_SET_CPUID2.

The two helpers are put here in order to manifest accessing xsave-managed
MSRs requires special check and handling to guarantee the correctness of
read/write to the MSRs.
