commit 37486135d3a7b03acc7755b63627a130437f066a upstream. In 5.4.y only, vcpu->arch.host_pkru is being set on every run thru of vcpu_enter_guest, when it really only needs to be set on load. As a result, we're doing a rdpkru on supported CPUs on every iteration of vcpu_enter_guest even though the value never changes. Mainline and 5.10.y already has host_pkru being initialized in kvm_arch_vcpu_load. This change is 5.4.y specific and moves host_pkru save to kvm_arch_vcpu_load.
