Subject: x86/cpu-policy: Simplify logic in
 guest_common_default_feature_adjustments()

For features which are unconditionally set in the max policies, making the
default policy to match the host can be done with a conditional clear.

This is simpler than the unconditional clear, conditional set currently
performed.
