    x86/EPT: drop questionable mfn_valid() from epte_get_entry_emt()
    
    mfn_valid() is RAM-focused; it will often return false for MMIO. Yet
    access to actual MMIO space should not generally be restricted to UC
    only; especially video frame buffer accesses are unduly affected by such
    a restriction.
    
    Since, as of 777c71d31325 ("x86/EPT: avoid marking non-present entries
    for re-configuring"), the function won't be called with INVALID_MFN or,
    worse, truncated forms thereof anymore, we call fully drop that check.
    
    Fixes: 81fd0d3ca4b2 ("x86/hvm: simplify 'mmio_direct' check in 
epte_get_entry_emt()")
