Subject: [PATCH v2 05/11] KVM: x86: emulator: update the emulation mode after CR0 write

CR0.PE toggles real/protected mode, thus its update
should update the emulation mode.

This is likely a benign bug because there is no writeback
of state, other than the RIP increment, and when toggling
CR0.PE, the CPU has to execute code from a very low memory address.
