Explicitly set @writable to false in try_async_pf() if the GFN->PFN translation is short-circuited due to the requested GFN not being visible to L2. Leaving @writable ('map_writable' in the callers) uninitialized is ok in that it's never actually consumed, but one has to track it all the way through set_spte() being short-circuited by set_mmio_spte() to understand that the uninitialized variable is benign, and relying on @writable being ignored is an unnecessary risk. Explicitly setting @writable also aligns try_async_pf() with __gfn_to_pfn_memslot().
