x86/vtd: Hide superpage support for SandyBridge IOMMUs

Something causes SandyBridge IOMMUs to choke when sharing EPT pagetables, and
an EPT superpage gets shattered.  The root cause is still under investigation,
but the end result is unusable in combination with CVE-2018-12207 protections.

This is part of XSA-304 / CVE-2018-12207
