Sean Christopherson 1d0e848060 KVM: x86/mmu: Resolve nx_huge_pages when kvm.ko is loaded
Resolve nx_huge_pages to true/false when kvm.ko is loaded, leaving it as
-1 is technically undefined behavior when its value is read out by
param_get_bool(), as boolean values are supposed to be '0' or '1'.

Alternatively, KVM could define a custom getter for the param, but the
auto value doesn't depend on the vendor module in any way, and printing
"auto" would be unnecessarily unfriendly to the user.

In addition to fixing the undefined behavior, resolving the auto value
also fixes the scenario where the auto value resolves to N and no vendor
module is loaded.  Previously, -1 would result in Y being printed even
though KVM would ultimately disable the mitigation.

Rename the existing MMU module init/exit helpers to clarify that they're
invoked with respect to the vendor module, and add comments to document
why KVM has two separate "module init" flows.
