KVM: x86: avoid memslot check in NX hugepage recovery if it cannot succeed
Since gfn_to_memslot() is relatively expensive, it helps to skip it if it the memslot cannot possibly have dirty logging enabled. In order to do this, add to struct kvm a counter of the number of log-page memslots. While the correct value can only be read with slots_lock taken, the NX recovery thread is content with using an approximate value. Therefore, the counter is an atomic_t.
