KVM: VMX: Forbid userspace MSR filters for x2APIC

Allowing userspace to intercept reads to x2APIC MSRs when APICV is
fully enabled for the guest simply can't work.   But more in general,
the LAPIC could be set to in-kernel after the MSR filter is setup
and allowing accesses by userspace would be very confusing.

We could in principle allow userspace to intercept reads and writes to TPR,
and writes to EOI and SELF_IPI, but while that could be made it work, it
would still be silly.

 If this ioctl has never been invoked, MSR accesses are not guarded and the
 default KVM in-kernel emulation behavior is fully preserved.

 As soon as the filtering is in place, every MSR access is processed through
 the filtering except for accesses to the x2APIC MSRs (from 0x800 to 0x8ff);
 x2APIC MSRs are always allowed, independent of the ``default_allow`` setting,
 and their behavior depends on the ``X2APIC_ENABLE`` bit of the APIC base
 register.

 Each bitmap range specifies a range of MSRs to potentially allow access on.
