Subject: [PATCH 05/11] KVM: fix XSAVE bit scanning (now properly)

From: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@....com>

commit 123108f1c1aafd51d6a5c79cc04d7999dd88a930 tried to fix KVMs
XSAVE valid feature scanning, but it was wrong. It was not considering
the sparse nature of this bitfield, instead reading values from
uninitialized members of the entries array.
This patch now separates subleaf indicies from KVM's array indicies
and fills the entry before querying it's value.
This fixes AVX support in KVM guests.
