[PATCH 12/23] KVM: MMU: remove ept_ad field

The similar field in the CPU role, ad_disabled, is initialized to the
opposite value for shadow EPT, and left zero for "normal" EPT because
guest page tables always have A/D bits. So, read it from the CPU role,
like other page-format fields; it just has to be inverted to account
for the different polarity.

In the MMU role, instead, the ad_disabled bit is set according to
shadow_accessed_mask, so it would have been incorrect to replace
PT_HAVE_ACCESSED_DIRTY with just !mmu->mmu_role.base.ad_disabled.
However, with the separation of CPU and MMU roles, we might even get
rid of the PT_HAVE_ACCESSED_DIRTY macro altogether. I am not doing this
because the macro has a small effect in terms of dead code elimination:

103746 16665 112 120523 1d6cb # without PT_HAVE_ACCESSED_DIRTY
