[xen stable-4.18] x86/spec-ctrl: Expose BHI_CTRL to guests

x86/spec-ctrl: Expose BHI_CTRL to guests

The CPUID feature bit signals the presence of the BHI_DIS_S control in
SPEC_CTRL MSR, first available in Intel AlderLake and Sapphire Rapids CPUs

Xen already knows how to context switch MSR_SPEC_CTRL properly between guest
and hypervisor context.
