Subject: [PATCH v3 1/11] KVM: MMU: fix writable sync sp mapping

While we sync many unsync sp at one time(in mmu_sync_children()),
we may mapping the spte writable, it's dangerous, if one unsync
sp's mapping gfn is another unsync page's gfn.

For example:

SP1.pte[0] = P
SP2.gfn's pfn = P
[SP1.pte[0] = SP2.gfn's pfn]

First, we write protected SP1 and SP2, but SP1 and SP2 are still the
unsync sp.

Then, sync SP1 first, it will detect SP1.pte[0].gfn only has one unsync-sp,
that is SP2, so it will mapping it writable, but we plan to sync SP2 soon,
at this point, the SP2->unsync is not reliable since later we sync SP2 but
SP2->gfn is already writable.

So the final result is: SP2 is the sync page but SP2.gfn is writable.

This bug will corrupt guest's page table, fixed by mark read-only mapping
if the mapped gfn has shadow pages.
