Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM/nVMX: Do not validate that posted_intr_desc_addr is page aligned

The spec only requires the posted interrupt descriptor address to be
64-bytes aligned (i.e. bits[0:5] == 0). Using page_address_valid also
forces the address to be page aligned.

Only validate that the address does not cross the maximum physical address
without enforcing a page alignment.

v1 -> v2:
- Add a missing parenthesis (dropped while merging!)
