KVM: x86/mmu: Drop exec/NX check from "page fault can be fast"
Tweak the "page fault can be fast" logic to explicitly check for !PRESENT
faults in the access tracking case, and drop the exec/NX check that
becomes redundant as a result. No sane hardware will generate an access
that is both an instruct fetch and a write, i.e. it's a waste of cycles.
If hardware goes off the rails, or KVM runs under a misguided hypervisor,
spuriously running throught fast path is benign (KVM has been uknowingly
being doing exactly that for years).
