KVM: VMX: Gracefully handle faults on VMXON
Gracefully handle faults on VMXON, e.g. #GP due to VMX being disabled by BIOS, instead of letting the fault crash the system. Now that KVM uses cpufeatures to query support instead of reading MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL directly, it's possible for a bug in a different subsystem to cause KVM to incorrectly attempt VMXON[*]. Crashing the system is especially annoying if the system is configured such that hardware_enable() will be triggered during boot. Oppurtunistically rename @addr to @vmxon_pointer and use a named param to reference it in the inline assembly. Print 0xdeadbeef in the ultra-"rare" case that reading MSR_IA32_FEAT_CTL also faults.
