KVM does not implement MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL, so it must not be presented
to the guests.  It is also confusing to have !ARCH_CAP_TSX_CTRL_MSR &&
!RTM && ARCH_CAP_TAA_NO: lack of MSR_IA32_TSX_CTRL suggests TSX was not
hidden (it actually was), yet the value says that TSX is not vulnerable
to microarchitectural data sampling.  Fix both.

I actually think kvm should virtualize IA32_TSX_CTRL for VMs that have
exclusive use of their cores (i.e. the same VMs for which we disable
MWAIT and HLT exiting).

Ignore my previous comment. I see that the functionality I want is
coming later in this series.

Whoever backports this patch should drop this spurious addition of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, unless they also want to backport the cleanup :-).
