KVM: x86/mmu: Bug the VM, not the host kernel, if KVM write-protects upper SPTEs

Browse source

Instead of bugging the host kernel, WARN and terminate the VM if KVM
attempts to write-protect at a level that cannot use leaf SPTEs.
There is no reason to bring down the entire host; even termininating
the VM is likely overkill, but in theory a missed write could corrupt
guest memory, so play it safe.
