Subject: KVM: x86: Fix MSR_IA32_BNDCFGS in msrs_to_save
From: Nadav Amit <namit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9e9c3fe40bcd28e3f98f0ad8408435f4503f2781 upstream.
kvm_init_msr_list is currently called before hardware_setup. As a result,
vmx_mpx_supported always returns false when kvm_init_msr_list checks whether to
save MSR_IA32_BNDCFGS.
Move kvm_init_msr_list after vmx_hardware_setup is called to fix this issue.
