Fix a variety of bugs in SVM's handling of x2APIC MSR passthrough for x2AVIC,
where KVM disables interception for MSR accesses that aren't accelerated by
hardware (pointless and suboptimal), and also does NOT disable interception
for practically any of the "range of vectors" MSRs, i.e. IRR, ISR, and TMR.
Lightly tested. Functionally, I'm pretty confident it's correct, but I
haven't done due diligence to verify accesses are being accelerated/intercepted
as expected.
Found by inspection when reviewing a TDX patch to fix a bug where KVM botched
the "range of vectors"[*] (I was curious how other KVM code handled the ranges;
wasn't expecting this...).
I tagged all of this for stable, mainly because handling the
AVIC_UNACCELERATED_ACCESS faults (unlike traps) #VMEXITs requires blind
emulation of the code stream. Which is "fine", but obviously unnecessary.
I.e. I could be convinced these fixes shouldn't be sent to LTS trees.

KVM: SVM: Disable x2AVIC RDMSR interception for MSRs KVM actually
supports
KVM: SVM: Always intercept RDMSR for TMCCT (current APIC timer count)
KVM: SVM: Only disable x2AVIC WRMSR interception for MSRs that are
accelerated
