[PATCH v2 16/26] KVM: x86/mmu: Cache the access bits of shadowed translations

In order to split a huge page we need to know what access bits to assign
to the role of the new child page table. This can't be easily derived
from the huge page SPTE itself since KVM applies its own access policies
on top, such as for HugePage NX.
We could walk the guest page tables to determine the correct access
bits, but that is difficult to plumb outside of a vCPU fault context.
Instead, we can store the original access bits for each leaf SPTE
alongside the GFN in the gfns array. The access bits only take up 3
bits, which leaves 61 bits left over for gfns, which is more than
enough. So this change does not require any additional memory.
In order to keep the access bit cache in sync with the guest, we have to
extend FNAME(sync_page) to also update the access bits.
Now that the gfns array caches more information than just GFNs, rename
it to shadowed_translation.
