Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Fix L2 guest crash when VPID is disabled on L0

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@...mail.com>

L2 guest crash during boot if VPID is enabled on L1 and disabled on L0. This 
also can be catched by kvm-unit-tests/vmx.flat when VPID is disabled on L0.

The enable_vpid sysfs perm parameter miss the 0 prefix, so the enable_vpid 
is failed to be disabled though vmcs_config bit is not set. This patch fixes 
it by utilizing S_IRUGO which includes 0 prefix instead.
