unavailable_host_feature() is being ifdef-ed above

This ifdef could be eliminated later when cpus are converted into sub-classes.
Then we would put host subclass close to kvm_cpu_fill_host inside of the same
ifdef. that would leave ifdef around kvm_check_features_against_host() in
cpu_x86_parse_featurestr().

both ways would work, but if stubs are preferred style then there is no
point arguing.
