Subject: [PATCH 2/4] KVM: x86/mmu: Fully re-evaluate MMIO caching when SPTE
 masks change

Fully re-evaluate whether or not MMIO caching can be enabled when SPTE
masks change; simply clearing enable_mmio_caching when a configuration
isn't compatible with caching fails to handle the scenario where the
masks are updated, e.g. by VMX for EPT or by SVM to account for the C-bit
location, and toggle compatibility from false=>true.

Snapshot the original module param so that re-evaluating MMIO caching
preserves userspace's desire to allow caching.  Use a snapshot approach
so that enable_mmio_caching still reflects KVM's actual behavior.

Fixes: 8b9e74bfbf8c ("KVM: x86/mmu: Use enable_mmio_caching to track if MMIO caching is enabled")
