Revert "x86/hvm: disable pkeys for guests in non-paging mode"
This reverts commitc41e0266dd. When determining Access Rights, Protection Keys only take effect when CR4.PKE it set, and 4-level paging is active. All other circumstances (notibly, 32bit PAE paging) skip the Protection Key control mechanism. Therefore, we do not need to clear CR4.PKE behind the back of a guest which is not using paging, as such a guest is necesserily running with EFER.LMA disabled. The {RD,WR}PKRU instructions are specified as being legal for use in any operating mode, but only if CR4.PKE is set. By clearing CR4.PKE behind the back of an unpaged guest, these instructions yield #UD despite the guest correctly seeing PKE set if it reads CR4, and OSPKE being visible in CPUID.
