Subject: [Patch v3 2/7] KVM: x86/mmu: Atomically clear SPTE dirty state in the

Do atomic-AND to clear the dirty state of SPTEs. Optimize clear-dirty-log
flow by avoiding to go through __handle_changed_spte() and directly call
kvm_set_pfn_dirty() instead.

Atomic-AND allows to fetch the latest value in SPTE, clear only its
dirty state and set the new SPTE value.  This optimization avoids
executing unnecessary checks by not calling __handle_changed_spte().

With the removal of tdp_mmu_set_spte_no_dirty_log(), "record_dirty_log"
parameter in __tdp_mmu_set_spte() is now obsolete. It will always be set
to true by its caller. This dead code will be cleaned up in future
commits.

Tested on a VM (160 vCPUs, 160 GB memory) and found that performance of clear
dirty log stage improved by ~40% in dirty_log_perf_test

Before optimization:
--------------------
Iteration 1 clear dirty log time: 3.638543593s
Iteration 2 clear dirty log time: 3.145032742s
Iteration 3 clear dirty log time: 3.142340358s
Clear dirty log over 3 iterations took 9.925916693s. (Avg 3.308638897s/iteration)

After optimization:
-------------------
Iteration 1 clear dirty log time: 2.318988110s
Iteration 2 clear dirty log time: 1.794470164s
Iteration 3 clear dirty log time: 1.791668628s
Clear dirty log over 3 iterations took 5.905126902s. (Avg 1.968375634s/iteration)
