KVM: SVM: Add support for KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT on SVM CPUs

Add support for KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT on SVM CPUs with Bus Lock
Threshold, which is close enough to VMX's Bus Lock Detection VM-Exit to
allow reusing KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT.

The biggest difference between the two features is that Threshold is
fault-like, whereas Detection is trap-like.  To allow the guest to make
forward progress, Threshold provides a per-VMCB counter which is
decremented every time a bus lock occurs, and a VM-Exit is triggered if
and only if the counter is '0'.

To provide Detection-like semantics, initialize the counter to '0', i.e.
exit on every bus lock, and when re-executing the guilty instruction, set
the counter to '1' to effectively step past the instruction.

Note, in the unlikely scenario that re-executing the instruction doesn't
trigger a bus lock, e.g. because the guest has changed memory types or
patched the guilty instruction, the bus lock counter will be left at '1',
i.e. the guest will be able to do a bus lock on a different instruction.
In a perfect world, KVM would ensure the counter is '0' if the guest has
made forward progress, e.g. if RIP has changed.  But trying to close that
hole would incur non-trivial complexity, for marginal benefit; the intent
of KVM_CAP_X86_BUS_LOCK_EXIT is to allow userspace rate-limit bus locks,
not to allow for precise detection of problematic guest code.  And, it's
simply not feasible to fully close the hole, e.g. if an interrupt arrives
before the original instruction can re-execute, the guest could step past
a different bus lock.

 Note! Detected bus locks may be coincident with other exits to userspace, i.e.
 KVM_RUN_X86_BUS_LOCK should be checked regardless of the primary exit reason if
 userspace wants to take action on all detected bus locks.
