This is a reasonable explanation.

I still think that we should add a comment explaining why this check is needed,
as I said in the previous review.

Looks reasonable now.

My review feedback from previous version still applies here, I don't have an
idea why this was not addressed....

"I think that here we also need to clear kvm_caps.supported_xss,
or even better, lets set the CET bits in kvm_caps.supported_xss only
once CET is fully enabled (both this check and check in __kvm_x86_vendor_init pass).
"

In addition to that I just checked and unless I am mistaken:

vmx_set_cpu_caps() is called from vmx's hardware_setup(), which is called
from __kvm_x86_vendor_init.

After this call, __kvm_x86_vendor_init does clear kvm_caps.supported_xss,
but doesn't do this if the above code cleared X86_FEATURE_SHSTK/X86_FEATURE_IBT.
