kvm_cpuid_check_equal() should also check .flags equality but instead
of adding it to the existing check, just switch to using memcmp() for
the whole 'struct kvm_cpuid_entry2'.

When .flags are not checked, kvm_cpuid_check_equal() may allow an update
which it shouldn't but kvm_set_cpuid() does not actually update anything
and just returns success.

Hmm, not sure about that due to the padding in struct kvm_cpuid_entry2. It might break userspace that isn't too careful about zeroing it.

Queued patch 1 though.
