KVM: x86: Avoid calling kvm_is_mmio_pfn() when kvm_x86_ops.get_mt_mask is NULL
Guard the call to kvm_x86_call(get_mt_mask) with an explicit check on
kvm_x86_ops.get_mt_mask so as to avoid unnecessarily calling
kvm_is_mmio_pfn(), which is moderately expensive for some backing types.
E.g. lookup_memtype() conditionally takes a system-wide spinlock if KVM
ends up being call pat_pfn_immune_to_uc_mtrr(), e.g. for DAX memory.
While the call to kvm_x86_ops.get_mt_mask() itself is elided, the compiler
still needs to compute all parameters, as it can't know at build time that
the call will be squashed.
<+243>: call 0xffffffff812ad880 <kvm_is_mmio_pfn>
<+248>: mov %r13,%rsi
<+251>: mov %rbx,%rdi
<+254>: movzbl %al,%edx
<+257>: call 0xffffffff81c26af0 <__SCT__kvm_x86_get_mt_mask>
