Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: always allow writing '0' to MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN

Even without in-kernel LAPIC we should allow writing '0' to
MSR_KVM_ASYNC_PF_EN as we're not enabling the mechanism. In
particular, QEMU with 'kernel-irqchip=off' fails to start
a guest with

qemu-system-x86_64: error: failed to set MSR 0x4b564d02 to 0x0

Fixes: 9d3c447c72fb2 ("KVM: X86: Fix async pf caused null-ptr-deref")

This doesn't actually verify that @data == 0. kvm_pv_async_pf_enabled()
returns true iff KVM_ASYNC_PF_ENABLED and KVM_ASYNC_PF_DELIVERY_AS_INT are
set, e.g. this would allow setting one and not the other. This also allows
userspace to set vcpu->arch.apf.msr_en_val to an unsupported value, i.e.
@data has already been propagated to the vcpu and isn't unwound.

Why not just pivot on @data when lapic_in_kernel() is false? vcpu->arch.apic
is immutable so there's no need to update apf.msr_en_val in either direction.

Committed this instead, though.
