Recently, KVM made it illegal to change CPUID after KVM_RUN but
unfortunately this change is not fully compatible with existing VMMs.
In particular, QEMU reuses vCPU fds for CPU hotplug after unplug and it
calls KVM_SET_CPUID2. Relax the requirement by implementing an allowlist
of entries which are allowed to change.

Going forward, VMMs are supposed to change the behavior. There is no real
need to change CPUID information. For hotplug purposes (and if reusing vCPU
fds is still considered being worthy), VMMs can be a bit smarter and always
pick the fd with the required LAPIC/x2APIC id to eliminate the need to
change this info later.
