Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Allocate PAE root array when using SVM's 32-bit
 NPT

SVM's Nested Page Tables (NPT) reuses x86 paging for the host-controlled
page walk.  For 32-bit KVM, this means PAE paging is used even when TDP
is enabled, i.e. the PAE root array needs to be allocated.

Fixes: ee6268ba3a68 ("KVM: x86: Skip pae_root shadow allocation if tdp enabled")
