Remove KVM's code to initialize IA32_FEAT_CTL MSR when KVM is loaded now that the MSR is initialized during boot on all CPUs that support VMX, i.e. on all CPUs that can possibly load kvm_intel. Note, don't WARN if IA32_FEAT_CTL is unlocked, even though the MSR is unconditionally locked by init_ia32_feat_ctl(). KVM isn't tied directly to a CPU vendor detection, whereas init_ia32_feat_ctl() is invoked if and only if the CPU vendor is recognized and known to support VMX. As a result, vmx_disabled_by_bios() may be reached without going through init_ia32_feat_ctl() and thus without locking IA32_FEAT_CTL. This quirk will be eliminated in a future patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
