Subject: [PATCH 21/43] KVM: VMX: Invert handling of CR0.WP for EPT without
 unrestricted guest

Opt-in to forcing CR0.WP=1 for shadow paging, and stop lying about WP
being "always on" for unrestricted guest.  In addition to making KVM a
wee bit more honest, this paves the way for additional cleanup.

No functional change intended.
