KVM: x86: hyper-v: set NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing CPUID bit when SMT is impossible

Hyper-V 2019 doesn't expose MD_CLEAR CPUID bit to guests when it cannot
guarantee that two virtual processors won't end up running on sibling SMT
threads without knowing about it. This is done as an optimization as in
this case there is nothing the guest can do to protect itself against MDS
and issuing additional flush requests is just pointless. On bare metal the
topology is known, however, when Hyper-V is running nested (e.g. on top of
KVM) it needs an additional piece of information: a confirmation that the
exposed topology (wrt vCPU placement on different SMT threads) is
trustworthy.

NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing (CPUID 0x40000004 EAX bit 18) is described in
TLFS as follows: "Indicates that a virtual processor will never share a
physical core with another virtual processor, except for virtual processors
that are reported as sibling SMT threads." From KVM we can give such
guarantee in two cases:
- SMT is unsupported or forcefully disabled (just 'disabled' doesn't work
 as it can become re-enabled during the lifetime of the guest).
- vCPUs are properly pinned so the scheduler won't put them on sibling
SMT threads (when they're not reported as such).

This patch reports NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing bit in to userspace in the
first case. The second case is outside of KVM's domain of responsibility
(as vCPU pinning is actually done by someone who manages KVM's userspace -
e.g. libvirt pinning QEMU threads).
