Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: do not reset microcode version on INIT or RESET

The microcode version should be set just once, since it is essentially
a CPU feature; so do it on vCPU creation rather than reset.

Userspace can tie the fix to the availability of MSR_IA32_UCODE_REV in
the list of emulated MSRs.
