[PATCH 2/5] x86/pv: Avoid leaking other guests' MSR_TSC_AUX values into PV context

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>]

If the CPU pipeline supports RDTSCP or RDPID, a guest can observe the value in
MSR_TSC_AUX, irrespective of whether the relevant CPUID features are
advertised/hidden.

At the moment, paravirt_ctxt_switch_to() only writes to MSR_TSC_AUX if
TSC_MODE_PVRDTSCP mode is enabled, but this is not the default mode.
Therefore, default PV guests can read the value from a previously scheduled
HVM vcpu, or TSC_MODE_PVRDTSCP-enabled PV guest.

Alter the PV path to always write to MSR_TSC_AUX, using 0 in the common case.

To amortise overhead cost, introduce wrmsr_tsc_aux() which performs a lazy
update of the MSR, and use this function consistently across the codebase.

N.B. This has been deemed not a security issue, because the MSR doesn't store
any sensitive information.
