x86/mm: fully honor PS bits in guest page table walks

In L4 entries it is currently unconditionally reserved (and hence
should, when set, always result in a reserved bit page fault), and is
reserved on hardware not supporting 1Gb pages (and hence should, when
set, similarly cause a reserved bit page fault on such hardware).

This is CVE-2016-4480 / XSA-176.
