Subject: [PATCH] x86/kvm/hyper-v: tweak HYPERV_CPUID_ENLIGHTMENT_INFO

We shouldn't probably be suggesting using Enlightened VMCS when it's not
enabled (not supported from guest's point of view). System reset through
synthetic MSR is not recommended neither by genuine Hyper-V nor my QEMU.

Windows seems to be fine either way but let's be consistent.
