kvm_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_XFD) will call kvm_get_supported_cpuid() which will
cache the cpuid information when it is firstly called. Move this line out
of __vm_xsave_require_permission() and check it afterwards so that the
CPUID change will not be veiled by the cached CPUID information.

Please call out exactly what CPUID change is being referred to.  Someone that
doesn't already know about ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM and it's interaction with
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID will have zero clue what this fixes.

E.g.

Move the kvm_cpu_has() check on X86_FEATURE_XFD out of the helper to
enable off-by-default XSAVE-managed features and into the one test that
currenty requires XFD (XFeature Disable) support.   kvm_cpu_has() uses
kvm_get_supported_cpuid() and thus caches KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID, and so
using kvm_cpu_has() before ARCH_REQ_XCOMP_GUEST_PERM effectively results
in the test caching stale values, e.g. subsequent checks on AMX_TILE will
get false negatives.

Although off-by-default features are nonsensical without XFD, checking
for XFD virtualization prior to enabling such features isn't strictly
required.

Fixes: 7fbb653e01fd ("KVM: selftests: Check KVM's supported CPUID, not host CPUID, for XFD")

I think we should disallow kvm_get_supported_cpuid() before
__vm_xsave_require_permission(), otherwise we'll reintroduce a similar bug in the
future.

And then as a follow-up, we should move these above vm_create_with_one_vcpu(),
checking them after vm_create_with_one_vcpu() is odd.

I'll send a v2 with the reworded changelog and additional patches to assert that
__vm_xsave_require_permission() isn't used after kvm_get_supported_cpuid().

Makes sense.

Agree.

Already seen your patches, thanks Sean!
