SubjectRe: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Avoid emulating instructions on #UD mistakenly

So KVM is emulating wrfsbase even if the host doesn't support it?

I'm swapping the order of the two operands of &&, since the first one will almost
always be true and the second one will almost always be false.

Also, there's now no need to test EmulateOnUD in the condition below. Does the
below look good to you?
