kvm_update_cpuid_runtime() is currently called by various functions for the
purpose of updating vCPU's cpuid entries, due to specific runtime changes, e.g.
CR4 bits changes, XCR0 bits changes, etc. Each of them actually just needs to
update 1 ~ 2 CPUID entries. But current kvm_update_cpuid_runtime() packages all.
Given finding a target CPUID entry need to go through all CPUID entries, calling
kvm_update_cpuid_runtime() is a waste for each cause.
This patch set splits kvm_update_cpuid_runtime() into pieces according to
different updating causes.
Then let various callers call their specific necessary kvm_xxx_update_cpuid().
This not only significantly saves each caller's time, but also eliminates
unnecessary couplings.
