Subject: [PATCH 04/12] KVM: MMU: log dirty page after marking spte writable

Make sure we can see the writable spte before the dirt bitmap is visible

We do this is for kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() write-protects the spte based
on the dirty bitmap, we should ensure the writable spte can be found in rmap
before the dirty bitmap is visible. Otherwise, we cleared the dirty bitmap and
failed to write-protect the page
