x86/vmx: Add support for virtualize SPEC_CTRL

The feature is defined in the tertiary exec control, and is available starting
from Sapphire Rapids and Alder Lake CPUs.

When enabled, two extra VMCS fields are used: SPEC_CTRL mask and shadow.  Bits
set in mask are not allowed to be toggled by the guest (either set or clear)
and the value in the shadow field is the value the guest expects to be in the
SPEC_CTRL register.

By using it the hypervisor can force the value of SPEC_CTRL bits behind the
guest back without having to trap all accesses to SPEC_CTRL, note that no bits
are forced into the guest as part of this patch.  It also allows getting rid of
SPEC_CTRL in the guest MSR load list, since the value in the shadow field will
be loaded by the hardware on vmentry.

x86/vmx: prevent fallthrough in vmx_set_reg() for handled registers

vmx_set_reg() logic is split into two parts, the top one handles registers
that don't require loading the VMCS into context (ie: don't require a
VMWRITE).  The second half handles registers that do require the VMCS to be
loaded.

SPEC_CTRL MSR is handled differently depending on whether there's support for
virtualize SPEC_CTRL.  Without hardware help for virtualizing SPEC_CTRL the
value is handled using MSR load lists, that don't require the VMCS to be
loaded.  When there's hardware assistance however the value is stored in the
VMCS, and requires a VMWRITE.  The lack of a return statement when handling
SPEC_CTRL in the first half of the function leads to SPEC_CTRL being
unconditionally handled as if the host had virtualize SPEC_CTRL, which means
Xen will either hit an ASSERT in debug builds, or will attempt to perform a
VMWRITE to an unhandled VMCS field if the host doesn't support the virtualize
SPEC_CTRL feature.

This bug occured because the context wasn't adjusted accordingly to account
for the absence commit 0626219dcc6a ("x86/hvm: Drop
hvm_{get,set}_guest_bndcfgs() and use {get,set}_regs() instead") in the 4.15
and 4.16 branches.

Fix by returning early from the function if the register is handled without
requiring the VMCS context to be loaded.
