x86/pkeys: Manually set X86_FEATURE_OSPKE to preserve existing changes
Explicitly set X86_FEATURE_OSPKE via set_cpu_cap() instead of calling get_cpu_cap() to pull the feature bit from CPUID after enabling CR4.PKE. Invoking get_cpu_cap() effectively wipes out any {set,clear}_cpu_cap() changes that were made between this_cpu->c_init() and setup_pku(), as all non-synthetic feature words are reinitialized from the CPU's CPUID values. Blasting away capability updates manifests most visibility when running on a VMX capable CPU, but with VMX disabled by BIOS. To indicate that VMX is disabled, init_ia32_feat_ctl() clears X86_FEATURE_VMX, using clear_cpu_cap() instead of setup_clear_cpu_cap() so that KVM can report which CPU is misconfigured (KVM needs to probe every CPU anyways). Restoring X86_FEATURE_VMX from CPUID causes KVM to think VMX is enabled, ultimately leading to an unexpected #GP when KVM attempts to do VMXON. Arguably, init_ia32_feat_ctl() should use setup_clear_cpu_cap() and let KVM figure out a different way to report the misconfigured CPU, but VMX is not the only feature bit that is affected, i.e. there is precedent that tweaking feature bits via {set,clear}_cpu_cap() after ->c_init() is expected to work. Most notably, x86_init_rdrand()'s clearing of X86_FEATURE_RDRAND when RDRAND malfunctions is also overwritten.
