commit ab007cc94ff9d82f5a8db8363b3becbd946e58cf upstream.
The PML feature is not exposed to guests so we should not be forwarding
the vmexit either.
This commit fixes BSOD 0x20001 (HYPERVISOR_ERROR) when running Hyper-V
enabled Windows Server 2016 in L1 on hardware that supports PML.
Fixes: 843e4330573c ("KVM: VMX: Add PML support in VMX")
