Fix a goof where KVM fails to re-initialize the set of supported VM types,

supported.

Hah, this reminds me of the bug of msrs_to_save[] and etc.

The series looks good to me.

With v2 to move the reset of kvm_cap and set the
hardcoded caps earlier,

Fix a similar long-standing bug with supported_mce_cap that is much less
benign, and then harden against us making the same mistake in the future.
