KVM may turn a user page to a kernel page when kernel writes a readonly user page if CR0.WP = 1. This shadow page entry will be reused after SMAP is enabled so that kernel is allowed to access this user page

Fix it by setting SMAP && !CR0.WP into shadow page's role and reset mmu once CR4.SMAP is updated
