Paolo Bonzini 6c7b2202e4 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.
