x86/pm: Save the MSR validity status at context setup
commit 73924ec4 upstream. The mechanism to save/restore MSRs during S3 suspend/resume checks for the MSR validity during suspend, and only restores the MSR if its a valid MSR. This is not optimal, as an invalid MSR will unnecessarily throw an exception for every suspend cycle. The more invalid MSRs, higher the impact will be. Check and save the MSR validity at setup. This ensures that only valid MSRs that are guaranteed to not throw an exception will be attempted during suspend.
