KVM: x86/mmu: Move event re-injection unprotect+retry into common path

Browse source

Move the event re-injection unprotect+retry logic into
kvm_mmu_write_protect_fault(), i.e. unprotect and retry if and only if
the #PF actually hit a write-protected gfn.  Note, there is a small
possibility that the gfn was unprotected by a different tasking between
hitting the #PF and acquiring mmu_lock, but in that case, KVM will resume
the guest immediately anyways because KVM will treat the fault as spurious.

As a bonus, unprotecting _after_ handling the page fault also addresses the
case where the installing a SPTE to handle fault encounters a shadowed PTE,
i.e. *creates* a read-only SPTE.

Opportunstically add a comment explaining what on earth the intent of the
code is, as based on the changelog from commit 577bdc4966 ("KVM: Avoid
instruction emulation when event delivery is pending").
