[PATCH 1/2] kvm,ept: pass error code to handler

[Lai Jiangshan]

handle_ept_violation() does not pass error code to
the handler tdp_page_fault().

It means tdp_page_fault() handles the page fault with ignoring
the error code, It will not handle the page fault completely correctly,
and may causes endless page fault.

{
But because there is another bad code in the kvm, This endless page faulting
never occur. The bad code: kvm always set pte writable.

negative * negative = positive, WTF!!

Next patch will fix this bad code.
}

exit_qualification & 0x2, because bit 1 (write fault) of exit
qualification is the only one that matches x86's pagefault error codes.
