Pretty much all the same comments as EFER and CR0, e.g. call svm_set_cr4()
directly instead of bouncing through kvm_x86_ops. And with that, this can
be called __kvm_set_cr4() to be consistent with __kvm_set_cr0().

I agree with calling svm_set_cr4 directly, but then this should be kvm_post_set_cr4.
