In shadow page table, only leaf SPs may be marked as unsync; instead, for non-leaf SPs, we store the number of unsynced children in unsync_children. Therefore, in kvm_mmu_sync_root(), sp->unsync shall always be zero for the root SP and there is no need to check it. Remove the check, and add a warning inside mmu_sync_children() to assert that the flags are used properly. While at it, move the warning from mmu_need_write_protect() to kvm_unsync_page().
