KVM: x86: Constrain guest-supported xfeatures only at KVM_GET_XSAVE{2}
Mask off xfeatures that aren't exposed to the guest only when saving guest state via KVM_GET_XSAVE{2} instead of modifying user_xfeatures directly. Preserving the maximal set of xfeatures in user_xfeatures restores KVM's ABI for KVM_SET_XSAVE, which prior to commit ad85628 ("x86/kvm/fpu: Limit guest user_xfeatures to supported bits of XCR0") allowed userspace to load xfeatures that are supported by the host, irrespective of what xfeatures are exposed to the guest. There is no known use case where userspace *intentionally* loads xfeatures that aren't exposed to the guest, but the bug fixed by commit ad85628 was specifically that KVM_GET_SAVE{2} would save xfeatures that weren't exposed to the guest, e.g. would lead to userspace unintentionally loading guest-unsupported xfeatures when live migrating a VM. Restricting KVM_SET_XSAVE to guest-supported xfeatures is especially problematic for QEMU-based setups, as QEMU has a bug where instead of terminating the VM if KVM_SET_XSAVE fails, QEMU instead simply stops loading guest state, i.e. resumes the guest after live migration with incomplete guest state, and ultimately results in guest data corruption. Note, letting userspace restore all host-supported xfeatures does not fix setups where a VM is migrated from a host *without* commit ad85628, to a target with a subset of host-supported xfeatures. However there is no way to safely address that scenario, e.g. KVM could silently drop the unsupported features, but that would be a clear violation of KVM's ABI and so would require userspace to opt-in, at which point userspace could simply be updated to sanitize the to-be-loaded XSAVE state.
