KVM: x86/mmu: move cr4_smep to base role

Browse Source 
Guest page tables can be reused independent of the value of CR4.SMEP
(at least if WP=1).  However, this is not true of EPT MBEC pages,
because presence of EPT entries is signaled by bits 0-2 when MBEC
is off, and bits 0-2 + bit 10 when MBEC is on.

In preparation for enabling MBEC, move cr4_smep to the base role.
This makes the smep_andnot_wp bit redundant, so remove it.

the value of cr0.wp part of the page role. This means that an spte created
with one value of cr0.wp cannot be used when cr0.wp has a different value -
it will simply be missed by the shadow page lookup code. A similar issue
exists when an spte created with cr0.wp=0 and cr4.smep=0 is used after
changing cr4.smep to 1. To avoid this, the value of !cr0.wp && cr4.smep
exists when an spte created with cr0.wp=0 and cr4.smap=0 is used after
changing cr4.smap to 1. To avoid this, the value of !cr0.wp && cr4.smap
