current_evmcs is just a cast:

 (struct hv_enlightened_vmcs *)this_cpu_read(current_vmcs)

so it is always not NULL here :-) We need to check enable_evmcs static
key first. Getting rid of the newly added enable_emsr_bitmap is, of
course, possible.

(Actually, we only call vmx_{dis,en}able_intercept_for_msr in the very
beginning of vCPUs life so this is not a hotpath and likeliness doesn't
really matter).

Will do v2 without the static key, thanks!
