KVM: MMU: drop read-only large sptes when creating lower level sptes
Read-only large sptes can be created due to read-only faults as
follows:
- QEMU pagetable entry that maps guest memory is read-only
due to COW.
- Guest read faults such memory, COW is not broken, because
it is a read-only fault.
- Enable dirty logging, large spte not nuked because it is read-only.
- Write-fault on such memory causes guest to loop endlessly
(which must go down to level 1 because dirty logging is enabled).
Fix by dropping large spte when necessary.
