Subject: [PATCH] LoongArch: KVM: Mark page accessed and dirty with mmu_lock

Function kvm_set_pfn_accessed() is somewhat complicated, originally
we want to reduce coverity range of mmu_lock, so move function
kvm_set_pfn_accessed() and kvm_set_pfn_dirty() out of mmu_lock.

However with migration test where vm has some workload, there is no
response when VM finishes migration. When mmu_lock is released, pfn page
may be replaced with other pages, it is unreasonable to set old replaced
pfn page with accessed or dirty.

Here move function kvm_set_pfn_accessed() and kvm_set_pfn_dirty() with
mmu_lock held, VM works after many times of migrations.
