It gets below warning when booting TDX VMs:

  warning: TDX forcibly sets the feature: CPUID[eax=01h].ECX.pdcm [bit 15]

Because CPUID_EXT_PDCM is fixed1 for TDX, and MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES is
supported for TDX guest unconditioanlly.

Don't mask off CPUID_EXT_PDCM for TDX.

It makes little sense for the TDX module to do this, but I don't see
any nicer way to comply. :(

Queued, thanks.
