So, because this patch is supposed to only refactor / simplify the code,
it should not change behavior.

But, because in patch#1 we return FALSE for IA32, the condition above
will evaluate to TRUE. And so we will massage CR2 (= fault address),
even though the IA32 build shouldn't do that (and doesn't do it, at the
moment).

This should be fixed by returning constant TRUE from
IsStaticPageTableEnabled(), in patch#1, on IA32.

(Note: in the message of commit d47b85a621ad ("Revert
"UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpu: Allow SMM access-out when static paging is OFF"",
2019-07-26), I wrote that "The IA32 implementation should return a
constant value". I didn't say either "constant TRUE" or "constant
FALSE". And that's because I couldn't know the right value, without
actually looking at the code. Determining the correct IA32 value was out
of scope for the revert.)
