KVM: selftests: Do not intercept #PF by default in nVMX tests
init_vmcs_control_fields() sets PFEC_MASK and PFEC_MATCH so that they never match, which reverses the meaning of the PF_VECTOR bit in EXCEPTION_BITMAP (which is zeroed), effectively enabling #PF interception by default. The relevant part of the SDM describes this: When a page fault occurs, a processor consults (1) bit 14 of the exception bitmap; (2) the error code produced with the page fault [PFEC]; (3) the page-fault error-code mask field [PFEC_MASK]; and (4) the page-fault error-code match field [PFEC_MATCH]. It checks if PFEC & PFEC_MASK = PFEC_MATCH. If there is equality, the specification of bit 14 in the exception bitmap is followed (for example, a VM exit occurs if that bit is set). If there is inequality, the meaning of that bit is reversed (for example, a VM exit occurs if that bit is clear). Clear PFEC_MATCH such that there is equality, and the #PF bit in the exception bitmap is followed, so that #PFs are not intercepted by default, same as every other exception. This also allows tests to set the #PF bit in the exception bitmap if they want to intercept #PFs, without having to muck with the PFEC_{MASK,MATCH} fields.
