KVM: MMU: Explicitly set D-bit for writable spte.
This patch avoids unnecessary dirty GPA logging to PML buffer in EPT violation
path by setting D-bit manually prior to the occurrence of the write from guest.
We only set D-bit manually in set_spte, and leave fast_page_fault path
unchanged, as fast_page_fault is very unlikely to happen in case of PML.
For the hva <-> pa change case, the spte is updated to either read-only (host
pte is read-only) or be dropped (host pte is writeable), and both cases will be
handled by above changes, therefore no change is necessary.
