Subject: [PATCH 6/7] KVM: X86: Don't check unsync if the original spte is writible

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...ux.alibaba.com>

If the original spte is writable, the target gfn should not be the
gfn of synchronized shadowpage and can continue to be writable.

When !can_unsync, speculative must be false.  So when the check of
"!can_unsync" is removed, we need to move the label of "out" up.
