Use kvm_is_cr4_bit_set() to query SMAP and SMEP when determining whether or not AMD's SMAP+SEV errata prevents KVM from emulating an instruction. This eliminates an implicit cast from ulong to bool and makes the code slightly more readable. Note, any overhead from making multiple calls to kvm_read_cr4_bits() is negligible, not to mention the code is question is encountered only in rare situations, i.e. is not a remotely hot path.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
