Indeed, this was a refactoring artefact.

Indeed, if the user doesn't enable the MTE capability then the bit will
always be set.

The bit must always be set here because KVM has no way of looking into the
future and knowing if the user will enable the MTE capability, as there is
no ordering enforced between creating a memslot and creating a VCPU.

What I can do is clear the bit regardless of the value of kvm_has_mte() in
kvm_mmu_perform_pending_ops(), because at that point the user cannot enable
MTE anymore (at least one VCPU has been created).

Thanks,
Alex
