KVM: SVM: Probe and load MSR_TSC_AUX regardless of RDTSCP support in host

Probe MSR_TSC_AUX whether or not RDTSCP is supported in the host, and
if probing succeeds, load the guest's MSR_TSC_AUX into hardware prior to
VMRUN.  Because SVM doesn't support interception of RDPID, RDPID cannot
be disallowed in the guest (without resorting to binary translation).
Leaving the host's MSR_TSC_AUX in hardware would leak the host's value to
the guest if RDTSCP is not supported.

Note, there is also a kernel bug that prevents leaking the host's value.
The host kernel initializes MSR_TSC_AUX if and only if RDTSCP is
supported, even though the vDSO usage consumes MSR_TSC_AUX via RDPID.
I.e. if RDTSCP is not supported, there is no host value to leak.  But,
if/when the host kernel bug is fixed, KVM would start leaking MSR_TSC_AUX
in the case where hardware supports RDPID but RDTSCP is unavailable for
whatever reason.

Probing MSR_TSC_AUX will also allow consolidating the probe and define
logic in common x86, and will make it simpler to condition the existence
of MSR_TSX_AUX (from the guest's perspective) on RDTSCP *or* RDPID.
