KVM: x86: Move shadow_phys_bits into "kvm_host", as "maxphyaddr"

Browse source

Move shadow_phys_bits into "struct kvm_host_values", i.e. into KVM's
global "kvm_host" variable, so that it is automatically exported for use
in vendor modules.  Rename the variable/field to maxphyaddr to more
clearly capture what value it holds, now that it's used outside of the
MMU (and because the "shadow" part is more than a bit misleading as the
variable is not at all unique to shadow paging).

Recomputing the raw/true host.MAXPHYADDR on every use can be subtly
expensive, e.g. it will incur a VM-Exit on the CPUID if KVM is running as
a nested hypervisor.  Vendor code already has access to the information,
e.g. by directly doing CPUID or by invoking kvm_get_shadow_phys_bits(), so
there's no tangible benefit to making it MMU-only.
