Drop the explicit checks on EPTP switching and EPT itself being enabled.
The EPTP switching check is handled in the generic VMFUNC function check,
the underlying VMFUNC enablement check is done by hardware and redone
by generic VMFUNC emulation, and the vmcs12 EPT check is handled by KVM
at VM-Enter in the form of a consistency check.

Perhaps the EPT enabled check is worth keeping with a WARN_ON_ONCE?
