KVM: SVM: work around errata 1218

According to AMD, the hypervisor may not be able to determine whether a
fault was a GMET fault or an NX fault based on EXITINFO1, and software
"must read the relevant VMCB to determine whether a fault was a GMET
fault or an NX fault".  The APM further details that they meant the
CPL field.

KVM uses the page fault error code to distinguish the causes of a
nested page fault, so recalculate the PFERR_USER_MASK bit of the
vmexit information.  Only do it for fetches and only if GMET is in
use, because KVM does not differentiate based on PFERR_USER_MASK
for other nested NPT page faults.
