AMD does not support APIC TSC-deadline timer mode. AVIC hardware

(Note: bit 18 is reserved on AMD system).
Therefore, always intercept and let KVM emulate the MSR accesses.

Does this fix some kvm-unit-tests testcase?
I am not sure if we have kvm-unit-tests testcases for this.
I found this when enabling tsc-deadline option in QEMU causing
the vm to fail to boot.
Anyway, I queued the patch, thanks!
