Subject: [PATCH 4.9 194/218] x86/pm: Save the MSR validity status at context setup

From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@...ux.intel.com>

commit 73924ec4d560257004d5b5116b22a3647661e364 upstream.

The mechanism to save/restore MSRs during S3 suspend/resume checks for
the MSR validity during suspend, and only restores the MSR if its a
valid MSR.  This is not optimal, as an invalid MSR will unnecessarily
throw an exception for every suspend cycle.  The more invalid MSRs,
higher the impact will be.

Check and save the MSR validity at setup.  This ensures that only valid
MSRs that are guaranteed to not throw an exception will be attempted
during suspend.

Fixes: 7a9c2dd08ead ("x86/pm: Introduce quirk framework to save/restore extra MSR registers around suspend/resume")
