x86/EPT: avoid marking non-present entries for re-configuring

For non-present entries EMT, like most other fields, is meaningless to
hardware. Make the logic in ept_set_entry() setting the field (and iPAT)
conditional upon dealing with a present entry, leaving the value at 0
otherwise. This has two effects for epte_get_entry_emt() which we'll
want to leverage subsequently:
1) The call moved here now won't be issued with INVALID_MFN anymore (a
   respective BUG_ON() is being added).
2) Neither of the other two calls could now be issued with a truncated
   form of INVALID_MFN anymore (as long as there's no bug anywhere
   marking an entry present when that was populated using INVALID_MFN).
