KVM: TDX/VMX: rework EPT_VIOLATION_EXEC_FOR_RING3_LIN into PROT_MASK

EPT exit qualification bit 6 is used when mode-based execute control
is enabled, and reflects user executable addresses. Rework name to
reflect the intention and add to EPT_VIOLATION_PROT_MASK, which allows
simplifying the return evaluation in
tdx_is_sept_violation_unexpected_pending a pinch.

Rework handling in __vmx_handle_ept_violation to unconditionally clear
EPT_VIOLATION_PROT_USER_EXEC until MBEC is implemented, as suggested by
Sean [1].

Note: Intel SDM Table 29-7 defines bit 6 as:
  If the "mode-based execute control" VM-execution control is 0, the
  value of this bit is undefined. If that control is 1, this bit is the
  logical-AND of bit 10 in the EPT paging-structure entries used to
  translate the guest-physical address of the access causing the EPT
  violation. In this case, it indicates whether the guest-physical
  address was executable for user-mode linear addresses.
