KVM: MMU: Do not unconditionally read PDPTE from guest memory
Architecturally, PDPTEs are cached in the PDPTRs when CR3 is reloaded.
On SVM, it is not possible to implement this, but on VMX this is possible
and was indeed implemented until nested SVM changed this to unconditionally
read PDPTEs dynamically. This has noticable impact when running PAE guests.
Fix by changing the MMU to read PDPTRs from the cache, falling back to
reading from memory for the nested MMU.
