Reinitialize IA32_FEAT_CTL on the BSP during wakeup to handle the case
where firmware doesn't initialize or save/restore across S3. This fixes
a bug where IA32_FEAT_CTL is left uninitialized and results in VMXON
taking a #GP due to VMX not being fully enabled, i.e. breaks KVM.
Use init_ia32_feat_ctl() to "restore" IA32_FEAT_CTL as it already deals
with the case where the MSR is locked, and because APs already redo
init_ia32_feat_ctl() during suspend by virtue of the SMP boot flow being
used to reinitialize APs upon wakeup. Do the call in the early wakeup
flow to avoid dependencies in the syscore_ops chain, e.g. simply adding
a resume hook is not guaranteed to work, as KVM does VMXON in its own
resume hook, kvm_resume(), when KVM has active guests.

Blech, zhaoxin.c an centaur.c don't include asm/cpu.h, and I (obviously)
don't have them enabled in my configs. I'll wait a day or two more before
sending v2.

I don't have currently an active VMX system to test this on,
but from the code and from my knowelege of this area this looks all
right.

It definitely warrants a backport to v5.6. I didn't include a Cc to stable
because I swear I had seen an email fly by that stated an explicit Cc is
unnecessary/unwanted for tip-tree patches, but per a recent statement from
Boris it looks like I'm simply confused[*]. I'll add the Cc in v2.
