KVM: x86: Enable AVX for guest

Browse Source 
Enable Intel(R) Advanced Vector Extension(AVX) for guest.

The detection of AVX feature includes OSXSAVE bit testing. When OSXSAVE bit is
not set, even if AVX is supported, the AVX instruction would result in UD as
well. So we're safe to expose AVX bits to guest directly.
