KVM: x86/mmu: Set SPTE_AD_WRPROT_ONLY_MASK if and only if PML is enabled
[ Upstream commit 44ac5958a6c1fd91ac8810fbb37194e377d78db5 ]
Check that PML is actually enabled before setting the mask to force a
SPTE to be write-protected. The bits used for the !AD_ENABLED case are
in the upper half of the SPTE. With 64-bit paging and EPT, these bits
are ignored, but with 32-bit PAE paging they are reserved. Setting them
for L2 SPTEs without checking PML breaks NPT on 32-bit KVM.
