KVM: x86: Advertise EferLmsleUnsupported to userspace

CPUID.80000008H:EBX.EferLmsleUnsupported[bit 20] is a defeature
bit. When this bit is clear, EFER.LMSLE is supported. When this bit is
set, EFER.LMLSE is unsupported. KVM has never _emulated_ EFER.LMSLE, so
KVM cannot truly support a 0-setting of this bit.

However, KVM has allowed the guest to enable EFER.LMSLE in hardware
since commit eec4b140c924 ("KVM: SVM: Allow EFER.LMSLE to be set with
nested svm"), i.e. KVM partially virtualizes long-mode segment limits _if_
they are supported by the underlying hardware.

Pass through the bit in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID to advertise the
unavailability of EFER.LMSLE to userspace based on the raw underlying
hardware.  Attempting to enable EFER.LSMLE on such CPUs simply doesn't
work, e.g. immediately crashes on VMRUN.
