x86emul: avoid triggering event related assertions

The assertion at the end of x86_emulate_wrapper() as well as the ones
in x86_emul_{hw_exception,pagefault}() can trigger if we ignore
X86EMUL_EXCEPTION coming back from certain hook functions. Squash
exceptions when merely probing MSRs, plus on SWAPGS'es "best effort"
error handling path.

In adjust_bnd() add another assertion after the read_xcr(0, ...)
invocation, paralleling the one in x86emul_get_fpu() - XCR0 reads should
never fault when XSAVE is (implicitly) known to be available.

Also update the respective comment in x86_emulate_wrapper().

Fixes: 14a6be89ec04 ("x86emul: correct EFLAGS.TF handling")
Fixes: cb2626c75813 ("x86emul: conditionally clear BNDn for branches")
Fixes: 6eb43fcf8a0b ("x86emul: support SWAPGS")
