KVM: SVM: Fix nested NPF injection of PFERR_GUEST_{PAGE,FINAL}_MASK bits
Fix KVM's generation of PFERR_GUEST_{PAGE,FINAL}_MASK bits when injecting a Nested Page Fault into L1. Currently, KVM blindly stuffs GUEST_FINAL into L1, which is blatantly wrong given that KVM obviously generates NPFs for page table accesses. There are two paths that trigger NPF injection: hardware NPF exits (from L2) and emulation-triggered faults, i.e. when KVM detects a NPF as part of emulating an L2 GVA access. For the hardware case, use the bits verbatim from the VMCB, as KVM is simply forwarding a NPF to L1. For the emulation case, propagate the GUEST_{PAGE,FINAL} bits from the access field (which were recently added for MBEC+GMET support). To differentiate between the two cases, add "hardware_nested_page_fault" to "struct x86_exception", and set it when injecting a NPF in response to an NPF exit from L2. To help guard against future goofs, assert that exactly one of GUEST_PAGE or GUEST_FINAL is set when injecting a NPF. Unlike VMX, there are no (known) cases where hardware doesn't set either bit, and KVM should always set one or the other when emulating a GVA access.
