Exempt nested EPT shadow pages tables from the CR0.WP=0 handling of supervisor writes, as EPT doesn't have a U/S bit and isn't affected by CR0.WP (or CR4.SMEP in the exception to the exception). Opportunistically refresh the comment to explain what KVM is doing, as the only record of why KVM shoves in WRITE and drops USER is buried in years-old changelogs.

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 reStructuredText 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.
