Subject: [RFC PATCH 6/7] kvm: arm64: Only write protect selected PTE

This function write protects all PTEs between the ffs and fls of mask.
There may has unset bit between this range. It works well under pure
software dirty log, as software dirty log is not working during this
process.

But it will unexpectly clear dirty status of PTE when hardware dirty
log is enabled. So change it to only write protect selected PTE.
