Subject: KVM: nVMX: add missing consistency checks for CR0 and CR4
From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 112e66017bff7f2837030f34c2bc19501e9212d5 upstream.
The effective values of the guest CR0 and CR4 registers may differ from
those included in the VMCS12. In particular, disabling EPT forces
CR4.PAE=1 and disabling unrestricted guest mode forces CR0.PG=CR0.PE=1.
Therefore, checks on these bits cannot be delegated to the processor
and must be performed by KVM.

[OP: drop CC() macro calls, as tracing is not implemented in 4.19]
[OP: adjust "return -EINVAL" -> "return 1" to match current return logic]
