[PATCH] VT-x: simplify/clarify vmx_load_pdptrs()



* Guests outside of long mode can't have PCID enabled. Drop the
  respective check to make more obvious that there's no security issue
  (from potentially accessing past the mapped page's boundary).

* Only the low 32 bits of CR3 are relevant outside of long mode, even
  if they remained unchanged after leaving that mode.

* Drop the unnecessary and badly typed local variable p.

* Don't open-code hvm_long_mode_active() (and extend this to the related
  nested VT-x code).

* Constify guest_pdptes to clarify that we're only reading from the
  page.

This is intentionally not addressing any of the other shortcomings of
the function, as was done by the previously posted
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2018-07/msg01790.html.
This will need to be the subject of a further change.
