Remove KVM's code to initialize IA32_FEAT_CTL MSR when KVM is loaded now that the MSR is initialized during boot on all CPUs that support VMX, i.e. on all CPUs that can possibly load kvm_intel.
Note, don't WARN if IA32_FEAT_CTL is unlocked, even though the MSR is unconditionally locked by init_ia32_feat_ctl(). KVM isn't tied directly to a CPU vendor detection, whereas init_ia32_feat_ctl() is invoked if and only if the CPU vendor is recognized and known to support VMX. As a result, vmx_disabled_by_bios() may be reached without going through init_ia32_feat_ctl() and thus without locking IA32_FEAT_CTL. This quirk will be eliminated in a future patch.
