Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] KVM: MMU: clear apfs if page state is changed

If CR0.PG is changed, the page fault cann't be avoid when the prefault address
is accessed later

And it also fix a bug: it can retry a page enabled #PF in page disabled context
if mmu is shadow page

This idear is from Gleb Natapov
