KVM: arm: dirty logging write protect support
Add support to track dirty pages between user space KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl calls. We call kvm_get_dirty_log_protect() function to do most of the work.

+/**
+ * kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log - get and clear the log of dirty pages in a slot
+ * @kvm: kvm instance
+ * @log: slot id and address to which we copy the log
+ *
+ * Steps 1-4 below provide general overview of dirty page logging. See
+ * kvm_get_dirty_log_protect() function description for additional details.
+ *
+ * We call kvm_get_dirty_log_protect() to handle steps 1-3, upon return we
+ * always flush the TLB (step 4) even if previous step failed and the dirty
+ * bitmap may be corrupt. Regardless of previous outcome the KVM logging API
+ * does not preclude user space subsequent dirty log read. Flushing TLB ensures
+ * writes will be marked dirty for next log read.
+ *
+ * 1. Take a snapshot of the bit and clear it if needed.
+ * 2. Write protect the corresponding page.
+ * 3. Copy the snapshot to the userspace.
+ * 4. Flush TLB's if needed.
