Move the MPX CPUID adjustments into VMX to eliminate an instance of the undesirable "unsigned f_* = *_supported ? F(*) : 0" pattern in the common CPUID handling code. Note, to maintain existing behavior, VMX must manually check for kernel support for MPX by querying boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_MPX). Previously, do_cpuid_7_mask() masked MPX based on boot_cpu_data by invoking cpuid_mask() on the associated cpufeatures word, but cpuid_mask() runs prior to executing vmx_set_supported_cpuid(). No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
