KVM: nSVM: Check instead of asserting on nested TSC scaling support

Check for nested TSC scaling support on nested SVM VMRUN instead of
asserting that TSC scaling is exposed to L1 if L1's MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO
has diverged from KVM's default.  Userspace can trigger the WARN at will
by writing the MSR and then updating guest CPUID to hide the feature
(modifying guest CPUID is allowed anytime before KVM_RUN).  E.g. hacking
KVM's state_test selftest to do

		vcpu_set_msr(vcpu, MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO, 0);
		vcpu_clear_cpuid_feature(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_TSCRATEMSR);

after restoring state in a new VM+vCPU yields an endless supply of:

Note, the nested #VMEXIT path has the same flaw, but needs a different
fix and will be handled separately.
