EPT exit qualification bit 6 is used when mode-based execute control
is enabled, and reflects user executable addresses. Rework name to
reflect the intention and add to EPT_VIOLATION_PROT_MASK, which allows
simplifying the return evaluation in
tdx_is_sept_violation_unexpected_pending a pinch.
Rework handling in __vmx_handle_ept_violation to unconditionally clear
EPT_VIOLATION_PROT_USER_EXEC until MBEC is implemented, as suggested by
Sean [1].
Note: Intel SDM Table 29-7 defines bit 6 as:
If the "mode-based execute control" VM-execution control is 0, the
value of this bit is undefined. If that control is 1, this bit is the
logical-AND of bit 10 in the EPT paging-structure entries used to
translate the guest-physical address of the access causing the EPT
violation. In this case, it indicates whether the guest-physical
address was executable for user-mode linear addresses.
