KVM: nSVM: Reject KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE if L1 has EFER.LMA=1 && EFER.LME=0

Reject KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE if the incoming L1 host state has what is
effectively an impossible EFER combination of LMA=1 but LME=0, i.e. if the
state says long mode is active but not enabled.  Unlike VMX, SVM doesn't
have an explicit consistent check for the illegal combination; presumably
hardware simply ignores EFER.LMA if EFER.LME=0.

Unfortunately, KVM doesn't ignore EFER.LMA in this case and consumes the
illegal state when constructing the shadow MMU for L2.  E.g. if userspace
also clears CR4.PAE, then kvm_calc_cpu_role() will compute a role with 4 or
5 levels of paging, but shadow_mmu_init_context() will wire up the MMU to
use the paging32 template, which maxes out its levels at 2.

Note, the "real badness" is effectively the same as what happened with the
nVMX bug fixed by commit 112e66017bff ("KVM: nVMX: add missing consistency
checks for CR0 and CR4").  Unfortunately, the sanity check added by commit
72e2fb24a0b0 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Bug the VM if a vCPU ends up in long mode
without PAE enabled") doesn't work for this case, since L2 state is active
at the time of the page fault, but it's L1 that has the bad state.
