Calling this function "unlocked" is confusing (others would say
"locked" is confusing instead). The double-underscore convention is
more common.

I think these two should be in kvm_hv_xsaves_xsavec_maybe_warn(),
though the former needs to be checked again under the lock.

At this point there is no need to return. You can set
xsaves_xsavec_warned and save the checks in the future.

boot_cpu_has can also be done first to cull the whole check.

Checking guest_cpuid_is_amd_or_hygon() is relatively expensive, it
should be done after "efer & EFER_SVME" but really the bug can happen
just as well on Intel as far as I understand? It's just less likely
due to the AMD erratum.
I'll send a v2.
