KVM: X86: Change the type of access u32 to u64



Change the type of access u32 to u64 for FNAME(walk_addr) and
->gva_to_gpa().

The kinds of accesses are usually combinations of UWX, and VMX/SVM's
nested paging adds a new factor of access: is it an access for a guest
page table or for a final guest physical address.

And SMAP relies a factor for supervisor access: explicit or implicit.

So @access in FNAME(walk_addr) and ->gva_to_gpa() is better to include
all these information to do the walk.

Although @access(u32) has enough bits to encode all the kinds, this
patch extends it to u64:
	o Extra bits will be in the higher 32 bits, so that we can
	  easily obtain the traditional access mode (UWX) by converting
	  it to u32.
	o Reuse the value for the access kind defined by SVM's nested
	  paging (PFERR_GUEST_FINAL_MASK and PFERR_GUEST_PAGE_MASK) as
	  @error_code in kvm_handle_page_fault().
