Subject: [PATCH v12 03/24] KVM: x86: Add kvm_msr_{read,write}() helpers

From: Yang Weijiang <weijiang.yang@...el.com>

Wrap __kvm_{get,set}_msr() into two new helpers for KVM usage and use the
helpers to replace existing usage of the raw functions.
kvm_msr_{read,write}() are KVM-internal helpers, i.e. used when KVM needs
to get/set a MSR value for emulating CPU behavior, i.e., host_initiated ==
%true in the helpers.
