Linux PV guests will attempt to read the FEATURE_CONTROL MSR, report
no features enabled or available, and that the MSR is already locked.

This isn't quite right.  This is an Intel-like MSR only, and should #GP
for AMD/Hygon.

It would be better to move it to the common guest_rdmsr() function, as
the two helpers (vmce_lmce, and nested_virt) used to construct it in the
vmx code are already generic.

This also helps progress the work to drop all the legacy MSR handling.
