    x86/CPUID: surface suitable value in EBX of XSTATE subleaf 1
    
    While the SDM isn't very clear about this, our present behavior make
    Linux 5.19 unhappy. As of commit 8ad7e8f69695 ("x86/fpu/xsave: Support
    XSAVEC in the kernel") they're using this CPUID output also to size
    the compacted area used by XSAVEC. Getting back zero there isn't really
    liked, yet for PV that's the default on capable hardware: XSAVES isn't
    exposed to PV domains.
    
    Considering that the size reported is that of the compacted save area,
    I view Linux'es assumption as appropriate (short of the SDM properly
    considering the case). Therefore we need to populate the field also when
    only XSAVEC is supported for a guest.
    
    Fixes: 460b9a4b3630 ("x86/xsaves: enable xsaves/xrstors for hvm guest")
    Fixes: 8d050ed1097c ("x86: don't expose XSAVES capability to PV guests")
