handle_ept_violation is checking for "guest-linear-address invalid" + "paging-structure walk", which is a sign of a bug in KVM. However, _all_ EPT violations without a valid guest linear address are paging structure walks, because those EPT violations happen when loading the guest PDPTEs. So simplify the check to only look at bit 7 of the exit qualification.
