kvm: mmu: ITLB_MULTIHIT mitigation

commit b8e8c8303ff28c61046a4d0f6ea99aea609a7dc0 upstream.

With some Intel processors, putting the same virtual address in the TLB
as both a 4 KiB and 2 MiB page can confuse the instruction fetch unit
and cause the processor to issue a machine check resulting in a CPU lockup.

Unfortunately when EPT page tables use huge pages, it is possible for a
malicious guest to cause this situation.

Add a knob to mark huge pages as non-executable. When the nx_huge_pages
parameter is enabled (and we are using EPT), all huge pages are marked as
NX. If the guest attempts to execute in one of those pages, the page is
broken down into 4K pages, which are then marked executable.

This is not an issue for shadow paging (except nested EPT), because then
the host is in control of TLB flushes and the problematic situation cannot
happen.  With nested EPT, again the nested guest can cause problems shadow
and direct EPT is treated in the same way.

[bwh: Backported to 4.9:
 - Use kvm_mmu_invalidate_zap_all_pages() instead of kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast()
 - Don't provide mode for nx_largepages_splitted as all stats are read-only
 - Adjust filename, context]
