KVM: x86: Disallow EFER.LME and EFER.LMA if long mode is not supported
Remove EFER.LME and EFER.LMA from EFER reserved bits only if long mode is actually supported. KVM does check long-mode support before allowing the bits for guest writes and userspace writes through KVM_SET_SREGS* (in __kvm_valid_efer()), but userspace writes through KVM_SET_MSRS only check reserved bits. In practice, this doesn't really matter. The true motiviation is getting rid of the #ifdeffery when initializing efer_reserved_bits.
