Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Don't emulate instructions in guest mode

vmx_check_intercept is not yet fully implemented. To avoid emulating
instructions disallowed by the L1 hypervisor, refuse to emulate
instructions by default.

File was renamed, and we don't have fb6d4d340e05 ("KVM: x86: emulate
RDPID") on 4.14 and prior. I've fixed it and queued this patch for
4.14-4.4.
