KVM: x86: Add XSS support for CET_KERNEL and CET_USER
Add CET_KERNEL and CET_USER to KVM's set of supported XSS bits when IBT *or* SHSTK is supported. Like CR4.CET, XFEATURE support for IBT and SHSTK are bundle together under the CET umbrella, and thus prone to virtualization holes if KVM or the guest supports only one of IBT or SHSTK, but hardware supports both. However, again like CR4.CET, such virtualization holes are benign from the host's perspective so long as KVM takes care to always honor the "or" logic. Require CET_KERNEL and CET_USER to come as a pair, and refuse to support IBT or SHSTK if one (or both) features is missing, as the (host) kernel expects them to come as a pair, i.e. may get confused and corrupt state if only one of CET_KERNEL or CET_USER is supported.
