KVM: x86/mmu: introduce ACC_READ_MASK

Browse source 
Read permissions so far were only needed for EPT, which does not need
ACC_USER_MASK.  Therefore, for EPT page tables ACC_USER_MASK was repurposed
as a read permission bit.

In order to implement nested MBEC, EPT will genuinely have four kinds of
accesses, and there will be no room for such hacks; bite the bullet at
last, enlarging ACC_ALL to four bits and permissions[] to 2^4 bits (u16).

The new code does not enforce that the XWR bits on non-execonly processors
have their R bit set, even when running nested: none of the shadow_*_mask
values have bit 0 set, and make_spte() genuinely relies on ACC_READ_MASK
being requested!  This works because, if execonly is not supported by the
processor, shadow EPT will generate an EPT misconfig vmexit if the XWR
bits represent a non-readable page, and therefore the pte_access argument
to make_spte() will also always have ACC_READ_MASK set.
