Drop code to set CR0.ET for the guest during initialization of the guest
FPU. The code was added as a misguided bug fix by commit 380102c8e431
("KVM Set the ET flag in CR0 after initializing FX") to resolve an issue
where vcpu->cr0 (now vcpu->arch.cr0) was not correctly initialized on SVM
systems. While init_vmcb() did set CR0.ET, it only did so in the VMCB,
and subtly did not update vcpu->cr0. Stuffing CR0.ET worked around the
immediate problem, but did not fix the real bug of vcpu->cr0 and the VMCB
being out of sync. That underlying bug was eventually remedied by commit
18fa000ae453 ("KVM: SVM: Reset cr0 properly on vcpu reset").
No functional change intended.
