Move the sanity check that hardware never sets bits that collide with KVM-
define synthetic bits from kvm_mmu_page_fault() to npf_interception(),
i.e. make the sanity check #NPF specific.  The legacy #PF path already
WARNs if _any_ of bits 63:32 are set, and the error code that comes from
VMX's EPT Violatation and Misconfig is 100% synthesized (KVM morphs VMX's
EXIT_QUALIFICATION into error code flags).

Add a compile-time assert in the legacy #PF handler to make sure that KVM-
define flags are covered by its existing sanity check on the upper bits.
