Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Refresh CR0.WP prior to checking for emulated
 permission faults

If CR0.WP may be guest-owned, i.e. TDP is enabled, refresh the MMU's
snapshot of the guest's CR0.WP prior to checking for permission faults
when emulating a guest memory access.  If the guest toggles only CR0.WP
and triggers emulation of a supervisor write, e.g. when KVM is emulating
UMIP, KVM may consume a stale CR0.WP, i.e. use stale protection bits
metadata.
