Commit 20a78b02d315 ("target/i386: add VMX features") unconditionally add vmx msr entry although older host kernels don't include them. But old host kernel + newest qemu will cause a qemu crash as follows: qemu-system-x86_64: error: failed to set MSR 0x480 to 0x0 target/i386/kvm.c:2932: kvm_put_msrs: Assertion `ret == cpu->kvm_msr_buf->nmsrs' failed. This fixes it by relaxing the condition.
