KVM: x86: Mask off unsupported and unknown bits of IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES

KVM should not claim to virtualize unknown IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES
bits. When kvm_get_arch_capabilities() was originally written, there
were only a few bits defined in this MSR, and KVM could virtualize all
of them. However, over the years, several bits have been defined that
KVM cannot just blindly pass through to the guest without additional
work (such as virtualizing an MSR promised by the
IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITES feature bit).

Define a mask of supported IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES bits, and mask off
any other bits that are set in the hardware MSR.
