KVM: x86: Disable support for Shadow Stacks if TDP is disabled

Browse source

Make TDP a hard requirement for Shadow Stacks, as there are no plans to
add Shadow Stack support to the Shadow MMU.  E.g. KVM hasn't been taught
to understand the magic Writable=0,Dirty=1 combination that is required
for Shadow Stack accesses, and so enabling Shadow Stacks when using
shadow paging will put the guest into an infinite #PF loop (KVM thinks the
shadow page tables have a valid mapping, hardware says otherwise).
