KVM: x86: clamp host mapping level to max_level in kvm_mmu_max_mapping_level
This change started as a way to make kvm_mmu_hugepage_adjust a bit simpler, but it does fix two bugs as well. One bug is in zapping collapsible PTEs. If a large page size is disallowed but not all of them, kvm_mmu_max_mapping_level will return the host mapping level and the small PTEs will be zapped up to that level. However, if e.g. 1GB are prohibited, we can still zap 4KB mapping and preserve the 2MB ones. This can happen for example when NX huge pages are in use. The second would happen when userspace backs guest memory with a 1gb hugepage but only assign a subset of the page to the guest. 1gb pages would be disallowed by the memslot, but not 2mb. kvm_mmu_max_mapping_level() would fall through to the host_pfn_mapping_level() logic, see the 1gb hugepage, and map the whole thing into the guest.
