v2: Based on Paolo's suggestion, kept the common code as much as possible by
introducing memslot_valid_for_gpte().
Note: instead of joining all checks by boolean operators, splitted the
no_dirty_log case off to be a separate if-check because it is checking
clearly different thing than the rest. See patch 4 for details.
In page fault handlers, both mapping_level_dirty_bitmap() and mapping_level()
do a memory slot search, binary search, through kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot(), which
may not be negligible especially for virtual machines with many memory slots.
With a bit of cleanup effort, the patch set reduces this overhead.
