KVM: nSVM: Propagate SVM_EXIT_CR0_SEL_WRITE correctly for LMSW emulation
When emulating L2 instructions, svm_check_intercept() checks whether a
write to CR0 should trigger a synthesized #VMEXIT with
SVM_EXIT_CR0_SEL_WRITE. For MOV-to-CR0, SVM_EXIT_CR0_SEL_WRITE is only
triggered if any bit other than CR0.MP and CR0.TS is updated. However,
according to the APM (24593—Rev. 3.42—March 2024, Table 15-7):
The LMSW instruction treats the selective CR0-write
intercept as a non-selective intercept (i.e., it intercepts
regardless of the value being written).
Skip checking the changed bits for x86_intercept_lmsw and always inject
SVM_EXIT_CR0_SEL_WRITE.
