KVM: x86/mmu: Use MMU role to check for matching guest page sizes

Originally, __kvm_sync_page used to check the cr4_pae bit in the role
to avoid zapping 4-byte kvm_mmu_pages when guest page size are 8-byte
or the other way round.  However, in commit 47c42e6b4192 ("KVM: x86: fix
handling of role.cr4_pae and rename it to 'gpte_size'", 2019-03-28) it
was observed that this did not work for nested EPT, where the page table
size would be 8 bytes even if CR4.PAE=0.  (Note that the check still
has to be done for nested *NPT*, so it is not possible to use tdp_enabled
or similar).

Therefore, a hack was introduced to identify nested EPT shadow pages
and unconditionally call __kvm_sync_page() on them.  However, it is
possible to do without the hack to identify nested EPT shadow pages:
if EPT is active, there will be no shadow pages in non-EPT format,
and all of them will have gpte_is_8_bytes set to true; we can just
check the MMU role directly, and the test will always be true.

Even for non-EPT shadow MMUs, this test should really always be true
now that __kvm_sync_page() is called if and only if the role is an
exact match (kvm_mmu_get_page()) or is part of the current MMU context
(kvm_mmu_sync_roots()).  A future commit will convert the likely-pointless
check into a meaningful WARN to enforce that the mmu_roles of the current
context and the shadow page are compatible.
