Kirill A. Shutemov e2efb6359e ACPICA: Avoid cache flush inside virtual machines
While running inside virtual machine, the kernel can bypass cache
flushing. Changing sleep state in a virtual machine doesn't affect the
host system sleep state and cannot lead to data loss.

Before entering sleep states, the ACPI code flushes caches to prevent
data loss using the WBINVD instruction.  This mechanism is required on
bare metal.

But, any use WBINVD inside of a guest is worthless.  Changing sleep
state in a virtual machine doesn't affect the host system sleep state
and cannot lead to data loss, so most hypervisors simply ignore it.
Despite this, the ACPI code calls WBINVD unconditionally anyway.
It's useless, but also normally harmless.

In TDX guests, though, WBINVD stops being harmless; it triggers a
virtualization exception (#VE).  If the ACPI cache-flushing WBINVD
were left in place, TDX guests would need handling to recover from
the exception.

Avoid using WBINVD whenever running under a hypervisor.  This both
removes the useless WBINVDs and saves TDX from implementing WBINVD
handling.
