KVM: x86/mmu: Use a dedicated bit to track shadow/MMU-present SPTEs

Introduce MMU_PRESENT to explicitly track which SPTEs are "present" from
the MMU's perspective.  Checking for shadow-present SPTEs is a very
common operation for the MMU, particularly in hot paths such as page
faults.  With the addition of "removed" SPTEs for the TDP MMU,
identifying shadow-present SPTEs is quite costly especially since it
requires checking multiple 64-bit values.

On 64-bit KVM, this reduces the footprint of kvm.ko's .text by ~2k bytes.
On 32-bit KVM, this increases the footprint by ~200 bytes, but only
because gcc now inlines several more MMU helpers, e.g. drop_parent_pte().

We now need to drop bit 11, used for the MMU_PRESENT flag, from
the set of bits used to store the generation number in MMIO SPTEs.
Otherwise MMIO SPTEs with bit 11 set would get false positives for
is_shadow_present_spte() and lead to a variety of fireworks, from oopses
to likely hangs of the host kernel.
