[PATCH] KVM: SVM: Limit PFERR_NESTED_GUEST_PAGE error_code check to L1 guest

[Brijesh Singh <brijesh.singh@amd.com>]

Commit: 1472775 (kvm: svm: Add support for additional SVM NPF error codes)
added new error code to aid nested page fault handling. The commit
unprotect (kvm_mmu_unprotect_page) the page when we get a NFP due to
guest page table walk where the page was marked RO.

Paolo highlighted a use case,  where an L0->L2 shadow nested page table
is marked read-only, in particular when a page is read only in L1's nested
page table. If such a page is accessed by L2 while walking page tables
it can cause a nested page fault (page table walks are write accessed).
However, after kvm_mmu_unprotect_page we may get another page fault, and
again in an endless stream.

To cover this use case, we qualify the new error_code check with
vcpu->arch.mmu_direct_map so that the error_code check would run on L1
guest, and not the L2 guest. This would restrict it avoid hitting the above
use case.
