Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Fix struct guest_walker arrays for 5-level
paging

Define PT_MAX_FULL_LEVELS as PT64_ROOT_MAX_LEVEL, i.e. 5, to fix shadow
paging for 5-level guest page tables.  PT_MAX_FULL_LEVELS is used to
size the arrays that track guest pages table information, i.e. using a
"max levels" of 4 causes KVM to access garbage beyond the end of an
array when querying state for level 5 entries.  E.g. FNAME(gpte_changed)
will read garbage and most likely return %true for a level 5 entry,
soft-hanging the guest because FNAME(fetch) will restart the guest
instead of creating SPTEs because it thinks the guest PTE has changed.

Note, KVM doesn't yet support 5-level nested EPT, so PT_MAX_FULL_LEVELS
gets to stay "4" for the PTTYPE_EPT case.

Fixes: 855feb673640 ("KVM: MMU: Add 5 level EPT & Shadow page table support.")

File name is different in 5.4 and 4.19. Fixed and queued up for both.
