[PATCH 3/6] KVM: SVM: Passthrough MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD based purely on host+guest CPUID

Passthrough MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD based purely on whether or not the MSR is
supported and enabled, i.e. don't wait until the first write. There's no
benefit to deferred passthrough, and the extra logic only adds complexity.
