KVM: x86: Default to not allowing emulation retry in kvm_mmu_page_fault
Effectively force kvm_mmu_page_fault() to opt-in to allowing retry to make it more obvious when and why it allows emulation to be retried. Previously this approach was less convenient due to retry and re-execute behavior being controlled by separate flags that were also inverted in their implementations (opt-in versus opt-out).
