When new nested EPTs are created, the AD bits are set. This was
introduced by commit 094444204570 ("selftests: kvm: add test for dirty
logging inside nested guests"), which introduced vmx_dirty_log_test.

It's unclear why that was needed at the time, but regardless, the test
seems to pass without them so probably no longer needed.
dirty_log_perf_test (with -n to run in L2) also passes, and these are
the only tests currently using nested EPT mappings.
