KVM: SVM: Set/clear SRSO's BP_SPEC_REDUCE on 0 <=> 1 VM count transitions
Set the magic BP_SPEC_REDUCE bit to mitigate SRSO when running VMs if and
only if KVM has at least one active VM. Leaving the bit set at all times
unfortunately degrades performance by a wee bit more than expected.
Use a dedicated spinlock and counter instead of hooking virtualization
enablement, as changing the behavior of kvm.enable_virt_at_load based on
SRSO_BP_SPEC_REDUCE is painful, and has its own drawbacks, e.g. could
result in performance issues for flows that are sensitive to VM creation
latency.
Defer setting BP_SPEC_REDUCE until VMRUN is imminent to avoid impacting
performance on CPUs that aren't running VMs, e.g. if a setup is using
housekeeping CPUs. Setting BP_SPEC_REDUCE in task context, i.e. without
blasting IPIs to all CPUs, also helps avoid serializing 1<=>N transitions
without incurring a gross amount of complexity (see the Link for details
on how ugly coordinating via IPIs gets).
