This patch and the previous one are basically redoing commit
0a47cd85833e ("KVM: MMU: Fix ubsan warnings", 2016-03-04).  While you
find your version easier to understand, I of course find mine easier.

Rather than getting stuck in a ko fight, the solution is to stick with
the code in KVM and add comments.  I'll give it a try...
