If not in long mode, the low bits of CR3 are reserved but not enforced to
be zero, so remove those checks. If in long mode, however, the MBZ bits
extend down to the highest physical address bit of the guest, excluding
the encryption bit.

Make the checks consistent with the above, and match them between
nested_vmcb_checks and KVM_SET_SREGS.

Function has different return type between 5.10 and 5.11, so this
needs fixing.

I'll check that c1c35cf78bfab31b8cb455259524395c9e4c7cd6 is enough and send either a backport of that one, or a fixed patch for <= 5.10. Thanks Pavel.
