kvm: x86: Add support for getting/setting expanded xstate buffer
With KVM_CAP_XSAVE, userspace uses a hardcoded 4KB buffer to get/set xstate data from/to KVM. This doesn't work when dynamic xfeatures (e.g. AMX) are exposed to the guest as they require a larger buffer size. Introduce a new capability (KVM_CAP_XSAVE2). Userspace VMM gets the required xstate buffer size via KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_XSAVE2). KVM_SET_XSAVE is extended to work with both legacy and new capabilities by doing properly-sized memdup_user() based on the guest fpu container. KVM_GET_XSAVE is kept for backward-compatible reason. Instead, KVM_GET_XSAVE2 is introduced under KVM_CAP_XSAVE2 as the preferred interface for getting xstate buffer (4KB or larger size) from KVM (Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/12/15/510 ) Also, update the api doc with the new KVM_GET_XSAVE2 ioctl.
