No, it returns 3.

vmx->rmode.vm86_active means "there is no unrestricted guest support,
and we're using VM86 mode to emulate real mode". The special case in
vmx_get_cpl is needed exactly because real mode CPL is 0 but VM86 has
CPL 3. In fact fix_rmode_seg sets DPL=3 for all segments, and CPL=SS.DPL.
