Use the current MMU instead of vCPU state to query CR4.SMEP when handling a page fault. In the nested NPT case, the current CR4.SMEP reflects L2, whereas the page fault is shadowing L1's NPT, which uses L1's hCR4. Practically speaking, this is a nop a NPT walks are always user faults, i.e. this code will never be reached, but fix it up for consistency.
