Subject: [PATCH v2 28/28] KVM: selftests: Disable dirty logging with vCPUs running

Disabling dirty logging is much more intestesting from a testing
perspective if the vCPUs are still running. This also excercises the
code-path in which collapsible SPTEs must be faulted back in at a higher
level after disabling dirty logging.
