Or even more simply, 

  kvmgt_page_track_write()
  |
  -> intel_vgpu_page_track_handler()
     |
     -> intel_gvt_page_track_remove()

I'll just delete these assertions, the one in __kvmgt_protect_table_find() should
cover everything and is ultimately the assert that matters.

This path needs to manually take vgpu_lock as it's called from KVM.  IIRC, this
is the main reason I tried adding a new lock.  That and I had a hell of a time
figuring out whether or not vgpu_lock would actually be held.

Looking at this with fresh eyes, AFAICT intel_vgpu_reset_gtt() is the only other
path that can reach __kvmgt_protect_table_find() without holding vgpu_lock, by
way of intel_gvt_page_track_remove().  But unless there's magic I'm missing, that's
dead code and can simply be deleted.
