    Revert a misguided illegal GPA check when "translating" a non-nested GPA.
    The check is woefully incomplete as it does not fill in @exception as
    expected by all callers, which leads to KVM attempting to inject a bogus
    exception, potentially exposing kernel stack information in the process.

    The bug has escaped notice because practically speaking the GPA check is
    useless.  The GPA check in question only comes into play when KVM is
    walking guest page tables (or "translating" CR3), and KVM already handles
    illegal GPA checks by setting reserved bits in rsvd_bits_mask for each
    PxE, or in the case of CR3 for loading PTDPTRs, manually checks for an
    illegal CR3.  This particular failure doesn't hit the existing reserved
    bits checks because syzbot sets guest.MAXPHYADDR=1, and IA32 architecture
    simply doesn't allow for such an absurd MAXPHYADDR, e.g. 32-bit paging
    doesn't define any reserved PA bits checks, which KVM emulates by only
    incorporating the reserved PA bits into the "high" bits, i.e. bits 63:32.
    
    Simply remove the bogus check.  There is zero meaningful value and no
    architectural justification for supporting guest.MAXPHYADDR < 32, and
    properly filling the exception would introduce non-trivial complexity.
    
    This reverts commit ec7771ab.
