KVM: x86/mmu: Micro-optimize nEPT's bad memptype/XWR checks
Rework the handling of nEPT's bad memtype/XWR checks to micro-optimize
the checks as much as possible. Move the check to a separate helper,
__is_bad_mt_xwr(), which allows the guest_rsvd_check usage in
paging_tmpl.h to omit the check entirely for paging32/64 (bad_mt_xwr is
always zero for non-nEPT) while retaining the bitwise-OR of the current
code for the shadow_zero_check in walk_shadow_page_get_mmio_spte().
Add a comment for the bitwise-OR usage in the mmio spte walk to avoid
future attempts to "fix" the code, which is what prompted this
optimization in the first place[*].
Opportunistically remove the superfluous '!= 0' and parantheses, and
use BIT_ULL() instead of open coding its equivalent.
The net effect is that code generation is largely unchanged for
walk_shadow_page_get_mmio_spte(), marginally better for
ept_prefetch_invalid_gpte(), and significantly improved for
paging32/64_prefetch_invalid_gpte().
Note, walk_shadow_page_get_mmio_spte() can't use a templated version of
the memtype/XRW as it works on the host's shadow PTEs, e.g. checks that
KVM hasn't borked its EPT tables. Even if it could be templated, the
benefits of having a single implementation far outweight the few uops
that would be saved for NPT or non-TDP paging, e.g. most compilers
inline it all the way to up kvm_mmu_page_fault().
