__init{const,data}_cf_clobber can have an effect only for pointers
actually populated in the respective tables. While not the case for SVM
right now, VMX installs a number of pointers only under certain
conditions. Hence the respective functions would have their ENDBR purged
only when those conditions are met. Invoke "pruning" functions after
having copied the respective tables, for them to install any "missing"
pointers.

This is largely cosmetic for present hardware, which when supporting
CET-IBT likely also supports all of the advanced VMX features for which
hook pointers are installed conditionally. The only case this would make
a difference there is when use of respective features was suppressed via
command line option (where available). For future hooks it may end up
relevant even by default, and it also would be if AMD started supporting
CET-IBT; right now it matters only for .pi_update_irte, as iommu_intpost
continues to default to off.

Originally I had meant to put the SVM and VMX functions in presmp-
initcalls, but hvm/{svm,vmx}/built_in.o are linked into hvm/built_in.o
before hvm/hvm.o. And I don't think I want to fiddle with link order
here.

v3: Re-base.
v2: Use cpu_has_xen_ibt in prune_{svm,vmx}().
