x86: adjust MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE handling

In the warning message issued on writes, the Xen-modified value should
be printed (and used to determine whether anything needs to be printed
at all), as the guest kernel will usually do a read-modify-write
cycle.

A question is whether Dom0 shouldn't be allowed control over some
bits, or whether some bits shouldn't be fully virtualized. I'm
particularly thinking of MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_FAST_STRING, which
recent Linux kernels want to disable for CONFIG_KMEMCHECK.

While putting this together I also noticed that rdmsr_safe() failed to
initialize its output registers in the failure path, thus leading to
printing of uninitialized data in the guest WRMSR warning message.

Further, the default case value-changed check can be simplified.
