Subject: KVM: MMU: fix smap permission check
From: Xiao Guangrong <[email protected]>
commit 7cbeed9bce7580479bb97457dad220cb3594b875 upstream.
Current permission check assumes that RSVD bit in PFEC is always zero,
however, it is not true since MMIO #PF will use it to quickly identify
MMIO access
Fix it by clearing the bit if walking guest page table is needed
