MIPS: KVM: Include bit 31 in segment matches
When faulting guest addresses are matched against guest segments with
the KVM_GUEST_KSEGX() macro, change the mask to 0xe0000000 so as to
include bit 31.
This is mainly for safety's sake, as it prevents a rogue BadVAddr in the
host kseg2/kseg3 segments (e.g. 0xC*******) after a TLB exception from
matching the guest kseg0 segment (e.g. 0x4*******), triggering an
internal KVM error instead of allowing the corresponding guest kseg0
page to be mapped into the host vmalloc space.
Such a rogue BadVAddr was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel
running under QEMU with KVM built as a module, due to a not entirely
transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB handling. This has already been
worked around properly in a previous commit.
