[PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Embed direct bits into gpa for KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY

From: Xiaoyao Li

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>

Bug[*] reported for TDX case when enabling KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY in QEMU.

It turns out that @gpa passed to kvm_mmu_do_page_fault() doesn't have
shared bit set when the memory attribute of it is shared, and it leads
to wrong root in tdp_mmu_get_root_for_fault().

Fix it by embedding the direct bits in the gpa that is passed to
kvm_tdp_map_page(), when the memory of the gpa is not private.

we have selftests enhancement for TDX case of KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY, but
the plan is to post them on top of the TDX selftests [1] when they get
upstream.
