KVM: vmx, svm: always run with EFER.NXE=1 when shadow paging is active

commit 9167ab79 upstream.

VMX already does so if the host has SMEP, in order to support the combination of
CR0.WP=1 and CR4.SMEP=1.  However, it is perfectly safe to always do so, and in
fact VMX already ends up running with EFER.NXE=1 on old processors that lack the
"load EFER" controls, because it may help avoiding a slow MSR write.  Removing
all the conditionals simplifies the code.

SVM does not have similar code, but it should since recent AMD processors do
support SMEP.  So this patch also makes the code for the two vendors more similar
while fixing NPT=0, CR0.WP=1 and CR4.SMEP=1 on AMD processors.
