KVM: vmx: remove save/restore of host BNDCGFS MSR

Linux does not support Memory Protection Extensions (MPX) in the
kernel itself, thus the BNDCFGS (Bound Config Supervisor) MSR will
always be zero in the KVM host, i.e. RDMSR in vmx_save_host_state()
is superfluous.  KVM unconditionally sets VM_EXIT_CLEAR_BNDCFGS,
i.e. BNDCFGS will always be zero after VMEXIT, thus manually loading
BNDCFGS is also superfluous.

And in the event the MPX kernel support is added (unlikely given
that MPX for userspace is in its death throes[1]), BNDCFGS will
likely be common across all CPUs[2], and at the least shouldn't
change on a regular basis, i.e. saving the MSR on every VMENTRY is
completely unnecessary.

WARN_ONCE in hardware_setup() if the host's BNDCFGS is non-zero to
document that KVM does not preserve BNDCFGS and to serve as a hint
as to how BNDCFGS likely should be handled if MPX is used in the
kernel, e.g. BNDCFGS should be saved once during KVM setup.
