Wrap at ~75.

The above comment needs to be rewritten.

This can be static, it's now used only by page_track.c.

This is too similar to the "enabled" version; "kvm_page_track_enable_write_tracking()"
would maintain namespacing and be less confusing.

Hmm, I'd probably vote to make this a "static inline" in kvm_page_track.h, and
rename mmu_enable_write_tracking() to kvm_mmu_enable_write_tracking and export.
Not a strong preference, just feels silly to export a one-liner.
