The nx_huge_pages parameter is stored as an int (initialized to -1 to
indicate auto mode), but get_nx_huge_pages() calls param_get_bool()
which expects a bool pointer.
This causes UBSAN to report "load of value 255 is not a valid value for
type '_Bool'" when the parameter is read via sysfs during a narrow time
window.

The issue occurs during module load: the module parameter is registered
and its sysfs file becomes readable before the kvm_mmu_x86_module_init()
function runs:

1. Module load begins, static variable initialized to -1
2. mod_sysfs_setup() creates /sys/module/kvm/parameters/nx_huge_pages
3. (Parameter readable, value = -1)
4. do_init_module() runs kvm_x86_init()
5. kvm_mmu_x86_module_init() resolves -1 to bool

If userspace (e.g., sos report) reads the parameter during step 3,
param_get_bool() dereferences the int as a bool, triggering the UBSAN
warning.

Fix that by properly reading and converting the -1 value into an 'auto'
string.
