KVM: x86: Check EMULTYPE_WRITE_PF_TO_SP before unprotecting gfn

Don't bother unprotecting the target gfn if EMULTYPE_WRITE_PF_TO_SP is
set, as KVM will simply report the emulation failure to userspace.  This
will allow converting reexecute_instruction() to use
kvm_mmu_unprotect_gfn_instead_retry() instead of kvm_mmu_unprotect_page().
