I see no reason to give special treatment to RESET/INIT, i.e. leave the
flag set.  vCPUs are zeroed on allocation.

Eh, I'd omit the WARN.  And invert the ordering to avoid multiple VMREADs
when SLD is disabled, which will be the common case.

Set TIF_SLD and the MSR bit, then __switch_to_xtra() will automatically
handle writing the MSR when necessary.

Even better would be to export handle_user_split_lock() and call that
directly.  The EFLAGS.AC logic in handle_user_split_lock() can be moved out
to do_alignment_check() to avoid that complication; arguably that should be
done in the initial SLD patch.

Manually calling split_lock_detect_set() in vmx_vcpu_run() is unnecessary.
The MSR only needs to be written on the initial #AC, after that KVM can
rely on the stickiness of TIF_SLD to ensure the MSR is set correctly when
control transfer to/from this vCPU.
