Move RDMSR and WRMSR emulation into common x86 code to consolidate
nearly identical SVM and VMX code.
Note, consolidating RDMSR introduces an extra indirect call, i.e.
retpoline, due to reaching {svm,vmx}_get_msr() via kvm_x86_ops, but a
guest kernel likely has bigger problems if increasing the latency of
RDMSR VM-Exits by ~70 cycles has a measurable impact on overall VM
performance. E.g. the only recurring RDMSR VM-Exits (after booting) on
my system running Linux 5.2 in the guest are for MSR_IA32_TSC_ADJUST via
arch_cpu_idle_enter().
No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
