In shadow page table, only leaf SPs may be marked as unsync.
And for non-leaf SPs, we use unsync_children to keep the number
of the unsynced children. In kvm_mmu_sync_root(), sp->unsync
shall always be zero for the root SP, , hence no need to check
it. Instead, a warning inside mmu_sync_children() is added, in
case someone incorrectly used it.
Also, clarify the mmu_need_write_protect(), by moving the warning
into kvm_unsync_page().
