This is unnecessary, KVM doesn't suppoort async page fault behavior for private
memory (and doesn't need to, because guest_memmfd() doesn't support swap).

This breaks SEV and SEV-ES guests, because AFAICT, the APM is lying by defining
PFERR_GUEST_ENC_MASK in the context of SNP.  The flag isn't just set when running
SEV-SNP guests, it's set for all C-bit=1 effective accesses when running on SNP
capable hardware (at least, that's my observation).

Grumpiness about discovering yet another problem that I would have expected
_someone_ to stumble upon...

FYI, I'm going to post a rambling series to cleanup code in the page fault path
(it started as a cleanup of the "no slot" code and then grew a few more heads).
One of the patches I'm going to include is something that looks like this patch,
but I'm going to use a KVM-defined synthetic bit, because stuffing a bit that KVM
would need _clear_ on _some_ hardware is gross.
