Subject: [PATCH v2 2/10] KVM: MMU: fix conflict access permissions in direct sp

In no-direct mapping, we mark sp is 'direct' when we mapping the
guest's larger page, but its access is encoded form upper page-struct
entire not include the last mapping, it will cause access conflict.

For example, have this mapping:
[W]
/ PDE1 -> |---|
P[W] | | LPA
\ PDE2 -> |---|
[R]

P have two children, PDE1 and PDE2, both PDE1 and PDE2 mapping the
same lage page(LPA). The P's access is WR, PDE1's access is WR,
PDE2's access is RO(just consider read-write permissions here)

When guest access PDE1, we will create a direct sp for LPA, the sp's
access is from P, is W, then we will mark the ptes is W in this sp.

Then, guest access PDE2, we will find LPA's shadow page, is the same as
PDE's, and mark the ptes is RO.

So, if guest access PDE1, the incorrect #PF is occured.

Fixed by encode the last mapping access into direct shadow page

And, it also cleanup the code that directly get the last level's dirty flag

Looks good, but please split the cleanup from the fix (we'll want to
backport the fix but not the cleanup).
