EFER and PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL MSRs have dedicated VM Entry/Exit controls that KVM dynamically toggles based on whether or not the guest's value for each MSRs differs from the host. Handle the dynamic behavior by adding a helper that clears the dynamic bits so the bits aren't set when initializing the VMCS field outside of the dynamic toggling flow. This makes the handling consistent with similar behavior for other controls, e.g. pin, exec and sec_exec. More importantly, it eliminates two global bools that are stealthily modified by setup_vmcs_config. Opportunistically clean up a comment and print related to errata for IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL.

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.
