KVM: x86/mmu: WARN and flush if resolving a TDP MMU fault clears MMU-writable

Do a remote TLB flush if installing a leaf SPTE overwrites an existing
leaf SPTE (with the same target pfn, which is enforced by a BUG() in
handle_changed_spte()) and clears the MMU-Writable bit.  Since the TDP MMU
passes ACC_ALL to make_spte(), i.e. always requests a Writable SPTE, the
only scenario in which make_spte() should create a !MMU-Writable SPTE is
if the gfn is write-tracked or if KVM is prefetching a SPTE.

When write-protecting for write-tracking, KVM must hold mmu_lock for write,
i.e. can't race with a vCPU faulting in the SPTE.  And when prefetching a
SPTE, the TDP MMU takes care to avoid clobbering a shadow-present SPTE,
i.e. it should be impossible to replace a MMU-writable SPTE with a
!MMU-writable SPTE when handling a TDP MMU fault.
