KVM: Fix write protection race during dirty logging

This patch fixes a race introduced by:

  commit 95d4c16c
  KVM: Optimize dirty logging by rmap_write_protect()

During protecting pages for dirty logging, other threads may also try
to protect a page in mmu_sync_children() or kvm_mmu_get_page().

In such a case, because get_dirty_log releases mmu_lock before flushing
TLB's, the following race condition can happen:

  A (get_dirty_log)     B (another thread)

  lock(mmu_lock)
  clear pte.w
  unlock(mmu_lock)
                        lock(mmu_lock)
                        pte.w is already cleared
                        unlock(mmu_lock)
                        skip TLB flush
                        return
  ...
  TLB flush

Though thread B assumes the page has already been protected when it
returns, the remaining TLB entry will break that assumption.

This patch fixes this problem by making get_dirty_log hold the mmu_lock
until it flushes the TLB's.
