Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Add KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP to x86

Follow the precedent set by other architectures that support the VCPU ioctl, KVM_ENABLE_CAP, and advertise the VM extension, KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP. This way, userspace can ensure that KVM_ENABLE_CAP is available on a vcpu before using it.

Fixes 5c919412fe61 ("kvm/x86: Hyper-V synthetic interrupt controller")
