s/kvm_is_realm/vcpu_is_rec

I don't understand the check very well. What I understood is mem_abort() is called
only when kvm_gpa_from_fault(kvm, fault_ipa) != fault_ipa, meaning only the page
faults in the shared address space is handled by mem_abort(). So I guess we perhaps
need something like below.

	if (vcpu_is_rec(vcpu) && device)
		return -EPERM;

kvm_handle_guest_abort
   kvm_slot_can_be_private
     private_memslot_fault	// page fault in the private space is handled here
   io_mem_abort			// MMIO emulation is handled here
   user_mem_abort                // page fault in the shared space is handled here
