Even though this change now uses SYSTEM scope for NESTED_VIRT, that is 
the correct choice. Ideally, we should use the scope that was passed 
into "has_v1", but as we have seen SCOPE_LOCAL is not safe. SYSTEM
schope works fine as both NV1 and NESTED_VIRT are SYSTEM scope. The only 
time we run them SCOPE_LOCAL is for hotplugged in CPUs, at which point 
the SYSTEM wide caps are finalized and will use the right value.
