This is intended as a replacement for commit 00590a384408 ("Revert "KVM:
nVMX: Expose load IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL VM-{Entry,Exit} control"").
The basic idea is the same, except instead of skipping the load if
the desired value is the same, skip the load if the MSR doesn't exist.
AFAICT, that plugs all holes where a mischievious usersepace can get
KVM to WARN.
I dropped the CR4 changes for now. I'd still prefer to give userspace
control, but AFAIK it doesn't cause problems, yet...
