KVM: x86: Introduce KVM_X86_QUIRK_VMCS12_ALLOW_FREEZE_IN_SMM
Add KVM_X86_QUIRK_VMCS12_ALLOW_FREEZE_IN_SMM to allow L1 to set FREEZE_IN_SMM in vmcs12's GUEST_IA32_DEBUGCTL field, as permitted prior to commit 6b1dd26544d0 ("KVM: VMX: Preserve host's DEBUGCTLMSR_FREEZE_IN_SMM while running the guest"). Enable the quirk by default for backwards compatibility (like all quirks); userspace can disable it via KVM_CAP_DISABLE_QUIRKS2 for consistency with the constraints on WRMSR(IA32_DEBUGCTL). Note that the quirk only bypasses the consistency check. The vmcs02 bit is still owned by the host, and PMCs are not frozen during virtualized SMM. In particular, if a host administrator decides that PMCs should not be frozen during physical SMM, then L1 has no say in the matter.
