KVM: x86: Move shadow_phys_bits into "kvm_host", as "maxphyaddr"
Move shadow_phys_bits into "struct kvm_host_values", i.e. into KVM's global "kvm_host" variable, so that it is automatically exported for use in vendor modules. Rename the variable/field to maxphyaddr to more clearly capture what value it holds, now that it's used outside of the MMU (and because the "shadow" part is more than a bit misleading as the variable is not at all unique to shadow paging). Recomputing the raw/true host.MAXPHYADDR on every use can be subtly expensive, e.g. it will incur a VM-Exit on the CPUID if KVM is running as a nested hypervisor. Vendor code already has access to the information, e.g. by directly doing CPUID or by invoking kvm_get_shadow_phys_bits(), so there's no tangible benefit to making it MMU-only.
