KVM: x86: enable dirty log gradually in small chunks

Browse Source 
It could take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time when
enabling dirty log for the first time. The main cost is to clear
all the D-bits of last level SPTEs. This situation can benefit from
manual dirty log protect as well, which can reduce the mmu_lock
time taken. The sequence is like this:

1. Initialize all the bits of the dirty bitmap to 1 when enabling
   dirty log for the first time
2. Only write protect the huge pages
3. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns the dirty bitmap info
4. KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG will clear D-bit for each of the leaf level
   SPTEs gradually in small chunks

Under the Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6152 CPU @ 2.10GHz environment,
I did some tests with a 128G windows VM and counted the time taken
of memory_global_dirty_log_start, here is the numbers:

VM Size        Before    After optimization
128G           460ms     10ms

With this capability enabled, KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG will not automatically
clear and write-protect all pages that are returned as dirty.
Valid flags are::
#define KVM_DIRTY_LOG_MANUAL_PROTECT_ENABLE (1 << 0)
#define KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET (1 << 1)
With KVM_DIRTY_LOG_MANUAL_PROTECT_ENABLE is set, KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG will not
automatically clear and write-protect all pages that are returned as dirty.
Rather, userspace will have to do this operation separately using
KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG.

take spinlocks for an extended period of time. Second, in some cases a
large amount of time can pass between a call to KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG and
userspace actually using the data in the page. Pages can be modified
during this time, which is inefficint for both the guest and userspace:
during this time, which is inefficient for both the guest and userspace:
the guest will incur a higher penalty due to write protection faults,
while userspace can see false reports of dirty pages. Manual reprotection
helps reducing this time, improving guest performance and reducing the
number of dirty log false positives.
With KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET set, all the bits of the dirty bitmap
will be initialized to 1 when created. This also improves performance because
dirty logging can be enabled gradually in small chunks on the first call
to KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG. KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET depends on
KVM_DIRTY_LOG_MANUAL_PROTECT_ENABLE (it is also only available on
x86 for now).
KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT2 was previously available under the name
KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT, but the implementation had bugs that make
it hard or impossible to use it correctly. The availability of
