[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v4 2/5] x86/ve: enable CPUID faulting at once when the current task enters a VE

ve_setup_task() only sets TIF_CPUID_OVERRIDE. The MSR follows the flag
in __switch_to_xtra(), so a task that enters a VE through unshare() or
setns() keeps executing CPUID natively until it is scheduled out for the
first time and sees the host values instead of the override table.

Add set_cpuid_override(), which sets the flag and, like disable_cpuid(),
flips the CPU state synchronously when the task is the current one.
Tasks set up through clone() are not running yet and are still handled
at their first switch-in.
