Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: use CPUID to locate host page table reserved bits

The comment in kvm_get_shadow_phys_bits refers to MKTME, but the same is actually
true of SME and SEV.  Just use CPUID[0x8000_0008].EAX[7:0] unconditionally if
available, it is simplest and works even if memory is not encrypted.

For 5.4 it was just due to a file rename, I've fixed it and queued it
up. 4.19 still needs a backport.
