Regardless of the 'msr' argument passed to the VMX version of
msr_write_intercepted(), the function always checks to see if a
specific MSR (IA32_SPEC_CTRL) is intercepted for write.  This behavior
seems unintentional and unexpected.

Modify the function so that it checks to see if the provided 'msr'
index is intercepted for write.

I could have sworn this got fixed already.  Or maybe Aaron just pointed it out
off-list?
