x86/split_lock: Don't write MSR_TEST_CTRL on CPUs that aren't whitelisted

Choo! Choo! All aboard the Split Lock Express, with direct service to Wreckage!

Skip split_lock_verify_msr() if the CPU isn't whitelisted as a possible SLD-enabled CPU model to avoid writing MSR_TEST_CTRL. MSR_TEST_CTRL exists, and is writable, on many generations of CPUs. Writing the MSR, even with '0', can result in bizarre, undocumented behavior.

This fixes a crash on Haswell when resuming from suspend with a live KVM guest. Because APs use the standard SMP boot flow for resume, they will go through split_lock_init() and the subsequent RDMSR/WRMSR sequence, which runs even when sld_state==sld_off to ensure SLD is disabled. On Haswell (at least, my Haswell), writing MSR_TEST_CTRL with '0' will succeed and _may_ take the SMT _sibling_ out of VMX root mode.

When KVM has an active guest, KVM performs VMXON as part of CPU onlining (see kvm_starting_cpu()). Because SMP boot is serialized, the resulting flow is effectively:

on_each_ap_cpu() { WRMSR(MSR_TEST_CTRL, 0) VMXON }

As a result, the WRMSR can disable VMX on a different CPU that has already done VMXON. This ultimately results in a #UD on VMPTRLD when KVM regains control and attempt run its vCPUs.

The above voodoo was confirmed by reworking KVM's VMXON flow to write MSR_TEST_CTRL prior to VMXON, and to serialize the sequence as above. Further verification of the insanity was done by redoing VMXON on all APs after the initial WRMSR->VMXON sequence. The additional VMXON, which should VM-Fail, occasionally succeeded, and also eliminated the unexpected #UD on VMPTRLD.

The damage done by writing MSR_TEST_CTRL doesn't appear to be limited to VMX, e.g. after suspend with an active KVM guest, subsequent reboots almost always hang (even when fudging VMXON), a #UD on a random Jcc was observed, suspend/resume stability is qualitatively poor, and so on and so forth.
