Subject: [PATCH 02/12] KVM: MMU: properly check last spte in fast_page_fault()

Using sp->role.level instead of @level since @level is not got from the
page table hierarchy

There is no issue in current code since the fast page fault only fixes the
fault caused by dirty-log, that means no large spte points to the dirty logged
page

The patch makes the code more readable and avoid potential issue in the further
development
