[PATCH v10 10/11] x86/tdx: Don't write CSTAR MSR on Intel

[Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On Intel CPUs writing the CSTAR MSR is not really needed. Syscalls
from 32bit work using SYSENTER and 32bit SYSCALL is an illegal opcode.
But the kernel did write it anyways even though it was ignored by
the CPU. Inside a TDX guest this actually leads to a #VE which in
turn will trigger ve_raise_fault() due to failed MSR write. Inside
ve_raise_fault() before it recovers from this error, it prints an
ugly message at boot. Since such warning message is pointless for
CSTAR MSR write failure, add exception to skip CSTAR msr write on
Intel CPUs.
