x86: clear CPUID output of leaf 0xd for Dom0 when xsave is disabled
Linux starting with 2.6.36 uses the XSAVEOPT instruction and has
certain code paths that look only at the feature bit reported through
CPUID leaf 0xd sub-leaf 1 (i.e. without qualifying the check with one
evaluating leaf 4 output). Consequently the hypervisor ought to mimic
actual hardware in clearing leaf 0xd output when not supporting xsave.

Make this unconditional for 4.0 (no pv xsave support) and fix for domU
guests as well (this was already okay in 4.1 and later).
