#1741884 — [PATCH v2] KVM: VMX: Don't expose PLE enable if there is no hardware support

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@hotmail.com>

PLE_Window: Software can configure this field as an upper bound on the amount of time
a guest is allowed to execute in a PAUSE LOOP.

KVM doesn't expose the PLE capability to the L1 hypervisor, however, ple_window still
shows the default value on L1 hypervisor. This patch fixes it by clearing all the
PLE related module parameter if there is no PLE capability.
