KVM: nVMX: Don't clobber nested MMU's A/D status on EPTP switch

Drop bogus logic that incorrectly clobbers the accessed/dirty enabling
status of the nested MMU on an EPTP switch.  When nested EPT is enabled,
walk_mmu points at L2's _legacy_ page tables, not L1's EPT for L2.

This is likely a benign bug, as mmu->ept_ad is never consumed (since the
MMU is not a nested EPT MMU), and stuffing mmu_role.base.ad_disabled will
never propagate into future shadow pages since the nested MMU isn't used
to map anything, just to walk L2's page tables.

Note, KVM also does a full MMU reload, i.e. the guest_mmu will be
recreated using the new EPTP, and thus any change in A/D enabling will be
properly recognized in the relevant MMU.
