KVM: x86: Further clarify the logic and comments for toggling log dirty
mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.12-rc1 commit 52f46079 category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/intel-kernel/issues/I7S3VQ CVE: NA Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=52f4607940b18337f01d160aaae346eaac388bf7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Add a sanity check in kvm_mmu_slot_apply_flags to assert that the LOG_DIRTY_PAGES flag is indeed being toggled, and explicitly rely on that holding true when zapping collapsible SPTEs. Manipulating the CPU dirty log (PML) and write-protection also relies on this assertion, but that's not obvious in the current code.
