KVM/VMX: Optimize vmx_vcpu_run() and svm_vcpu_run() by marking the RDMSR path as unlikely()
vmx_vcpu_run() and svm_vcpu_run() are large functions, and giving branch hints to the compiler can actually make a substantial cycle difference by keeping the fast path contiguous in memory. With this optimization, the retpoline-guest/retpoline-host case is about 50 cycles faster.
