Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: Fix check for valid GVA on an EPT violation
On an EPT violation, bit 7 of the exit qualification is set if the
guest linear-address is valid. The derived page fault error code
should not be checked for this bit.
Fixes: f3009482512e ("KVM: VMX: Set PFERR_GUEST_{FINAL,PAGE}_MASK if and only if the GVA is valid")
