target/i386: remove unnecessary/wrong application of the A20 mask
If ptw_translate() does a MMU_PHYS_IDX access, the A20 mask is already
applied in get_physical_address(), which is called via probe_access_full()
and x86_cpu_tlb_fill().
If ptw_translate() on the other hand does a MMU_NESTED_IDX access,
the A20 mask must not be applied to the address that is looked up in
the nested page tables; it must be applied only to the addresses that
hold the NPT entries (which is achieved via MMU_PHYS_IDX, per the
previous paragraph).
Therefore, we can remove A20 masking from the computation of the page
table entry's address, and let get_physical_address() or mmu_translate()
apply it when they know they are returning a host-physical address.
