Subject: [PATCH V2 3/5] KVM: X86: Rename variable smap to not_smap in permission_fault()

From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@...group.com>

Comments above the variable says the bit is set when SMAP is overridden
or the same meaning in update_permission_bitmask(): it is not subjected
to SMAP restriction.

Renaming it to reflect the negative implication and make the code better
readability.
