Subject: [PATCH v2 08/16] KVM: VMX: Check for full VMX support when verifying CPU compatibility

Explicitly check the current CPU's VMX feature flag when verifying
compatibility across physical CPUs.  This effectively adds a check on
IA32_FEATURE_CONTROL to ensure that VMX is fully enabled on all CPUs.
