When KVM_X86_QUIRK_NESTED_SVM_SHARED_PAT is disabled and nested paging is
enabled in vmcb12, validate g_pat at emulated VMRUN and cause an immediate
VMEXIT with exit code VMEXIT_INVALID if it is invalid, as specified in the
APM, volume 2: "Nested Paging and VMRUN/VMEXIT."

Fixes: 3d6368ef580a ("KVM: SVM: Add VMRUN handler")
