KVM: x86: Manually flush collapsible SPTEs only when toggling flags
Zapping collapsible sptes, a.k.a. 4k sptes that can be promoted into a large page, is only necessary when changing only the dirty logging flag of a memory region. If the memslot is also being moved, then all sptes for the memslot are zapped when it is invalidated. When a memslot is being created, it is impossible for there to be existing dirty mappings, e.g. KVM can have MMIO sptes, but not present, and thus dirty, sptes. Note, the comment and logic are shamelessly borrowed from MIPS's version of kvm_arch_commit_memory_region().
