KVM: VMX: Set host constant supervisor states to VMCS fields
Save constant values to HOST_{S_CET,SSP,INTR_SSP_TABLE} field explicitly. Kernel IBT is supported and the setting in MSR_IA32_S_CET is static after post-boot(The exception is BIOS call case but vCPU thread never across it) and KVM doesn't need to refresh HOST_S_CET field before every VM-Enter/ VM-Exit sequence. Host supervisor shadow stack is not enabled now and SSP is not accessible to kernel mode, thus it's safe to set host IA32_INT_SSP_TAB/SSP VMCS field to 0s. When shadow stack is enabled for CPL3, SSP is reloaded from PL3_SSP before it exits to userspace. Check SDM Vol 2A/B Chapter 3/4 for SYSCALL/ SYSRET/SYSENTER SYSEXIT/RDSSP/CALL etc. Prevent KVM module loading if host supervisor shadow stack SHSTK_EN is set in MSR_IA32_S_CET as KVM cannot co-exit with it correctly.
