KVM: x86/mmu: Treat NX as a valid SPTE bit for NPT

    KVM: x86/mmu: Treat NX as a valid SPTE bit for NPT

    Treat the NX bit as valid when using NPT, as KVM will set the NX bit when
    the NX huge page mitigation is enabled (mindblowing) and trigger the WARN
    that fires on reserved SPTE bits being set.

    KVM has required NX support for SVM since commit b26a71a1 ("KVM: SVM:
    Refuse to load kvm_amd if NX support is not available") for exactly this
    reason, but apparently it never occurred to anyone to actually test NPT
    with the mitigation enabled.
