Snapshot shadow_phys_bits when kvm.ko is loaded, not when a vendor module is loaded, to guard against usage of shadow_phys_bits before it is initialized. The computation isn't vendor specific in any way, i.e. there there is no reason to wait to snapshot the value until a vendor module is loaded, nor is there any reason to recompute the value every time a vendor module is loaded. Opportunistically convert it from "read mostly" to "read-only after init".
