SDM mentioned: 

 "If either the “unrestricted guest” VM-execution control or the “mode-based 
  execute control for EPT” VM- execution control is 1, the “enable EPT” 
  VM-execution control must also be 1."

However, we can still observe unrestricted_guest is Y after inserting the kvm-intel.ko 
w/ ept=N. It depends on later starts a guest in order that the function 
vmx_compute_secondary_exec_control() can be executed, then both the module parameter 
and exec control fields will be amended.

This patch fixes it by amending module parameter immediately during vmcs data setup.
