x86: Always have CR4.PKE set in HVM context
The sole user of read_pkru() is the emulated pagewalk, and guarded behind
guest_pku_enabled() which restricts the path to HVM (hap, even) context
only.
The commentary in read_pkru() concerning _PAGE_GNTTAB overlapping with
_PAGE_PKEY_BITS is only applicable to PV guests.
The context switch path, via write_ptbase() unconditionally writes CR4 on
any
context switch.
Therefore, we can guarantee to separate CR4.PKE between PV and HVM context
at
no extra cost. Set PKE in mmu_cr4_features on boot, so it becomes set in
HVM
context, and clear it in pv_make_cr4().
Rename read_pkru() to rdpkru() now that it is a simple wrapper around the
instruction. This saves two CR4 writes on every pagewalk, which typically
occur more than one per emulation.
