Subject: [PATCH v2 23/23] kvm: x86: Disable RDMSR interception of IA32_XFD_ERR

Also disable read emulation of IA32_XFD_ERR MSR at the same point
where r/w emulation of IA32_XFD MSR is disabled. This saves one
unnecessary VM-exit in guest #NM handler, given that the MSR is
already restored with the guest value before the guest is resumed.
