Split out VMX's checks on CR4.VMXE to a dedicated hook, .is_valid_cr4(),
and invoke the new hook from kvm_valid_cr4(). This fixes an issue where
KVM_SET_SREGS would return success while failing to actually set CR4.
Fixing the issue by explicitly checking kvm_x86_ops.set_cr4()'s return
in __set_sregs() is not a viable option as KVM has already stuffed a
variety of vCPU state.
Note, kvm_valid_cr4() and is_valid_cr4() have different return types and
inverted semantics. This will be remedied in a future patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
