Now that KVM snapshots the host's MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES, drop the
similar snapshot/cache of whether or not KVM is allowed to manipulate
MSR_IA32_MCU_OPT_CTRL.FB_CLEAR_DIS.  The motivation for the cache was
presumably to avoid the RDMSR, e.g. boot_cpu_has_bug() is quite cheap, and
modifying the vCPU's MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES is an infrequent option
and a relatively slow path.
