KVM: x86: fix backward migration with async_PF
Guests on new hypersiors might set KVM_ASYNC_PF_DELIVERY_AS_PF_VMEXIT
bit when enabling async_PF, but this bit is reserved on old hypervisors,
which results in a failure upon migration.
To avoid breaking different cases, we are checking for CPUID feature bit
before enabling the feature and nothing else.
Fixes: 52a5c155cf79 ("KVM: async_pf: Let guest support delivery of async_pf from guest mode")
