KVM: x86/mmu: Move guest PT write-protection to account_shadowed()



Move the code that write-protects newly-shadowed guest page tables into
account_shadowed(). This avoids a extra gfn-to-memslot lookup and is a
more logical place for this code to live. But most importantly, this
reduces kvm_mmu_alloc_shadow_page()'s reliance on having a struct
kvm_vcpu pointer, which will be necessary when creating new shadow pages
during VM ioctls for eager page splitting.

Note, it is safe to drop the role.level == PG_LEVEL_4K check since
account_shadowed() returns early if role.level > PG_LEVEL_4K.

No functional change intended.
