Commit 1389309c811b ("KVM: nVMX: expose VMX capabilities for nested
hypervisors to userspace") expands the msr_based_features with
MSR_IA32_VMX_BASIC and others. Then together with an old kernel before
1389309c811b, the qemu call KVM_GET_MSR_FEATURE_INDEX_LIST and got the
smaller kvm_feature_msrs. Then in kvm_arch_get_supported_msr_feature(),
searching VMX_BASIC will be failed and return 0. At last kvm_vmx_basic
will be assigned to 0.

Without this patch, it will cause a qemu crash (host kernel 4.15
ubuntu 18.04+qemu 4.1):
qemu-system-x86_64: error: failed to set MSR 0x480 to 0x0
target/i386/kvm.c:2932: kvm_put_msrs: Assertion `ret ==
cpu->kvm_msr_buf->nmsrs' failed.

This fixes it by skipping kvm_msr_entry_add when kvm_vmx_basic is 0

Hi Paolo and Eduardo
I digged into the put msr assertion bug a little more, and seems I
found the root cause.
Please have a review.

Best regards.
Catherine

Yang Zhong from Intel also sent a similar patch.  Thanks very much to
both of you.
