Subject: [PATCH RESEND v4 13/23] KVM: x86: emulator: update the emulation mode after CR0 write

Update the emulation mode when handling writes to CR0, because
toggling CR0.PE switches between Real and Protected Mode, and toggling
CR0.PG when EFER.LME=1 switches between Long and Protected 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.
