I'm afraid that a number of hypervisors do write-discard, given the
propensity of OSes (certainly traditionally) to go poking at bits like
this without wrmsr_safe().

You either need to read the MSR back and observe that the bit has really
changed, or in this case as Thomas suggests, look at CPUID again (which
will likely be the faster option for the non-virtualised case).
