kvm: mmu: track read permission explicitly for shadow EPT page tables
To support execute only mappings on behalf of L1 hypervisors, reuse ACC_USER_MASK to signify if the L1 hypervisor has the R bit set. For the nested EPT case, we assumed that the U bit was always set since there was no equivalent in EPT page tables. Strictly speaking, this was not necessary because handle_ept_violation never set PFERR_USER_MASK in the error code (uf=0 in the parlance of update_permission_bitmask). We now have to set both U and UF correctly, respectively in FNAME(gpte_access) and in handle_ept_violation. Also in handle_ept_violation bit 3 of the exit qualification is not enough to detect a present PTE; all three bits 3-5 have to be checked.
