If you're going to add a WARN, might as well bail and do nothing if !enable_pml.
Setting the VMCS bit could lead to a VMWRITE error and/or corrupt memory due to
enabling PML with a garbage buffer.

There's no need to force multiple reads of nr_memslots_dirty_logging.  And the
!enable check is unnecessary since this helper is called iff there's a change
(and we have bigger problems if the count wraps).

E.g. this could be

	int nr_slots;

	if (!kvm_x86_ops.cpu_dirty_log_size)
		return;

	nr_slots = atomic_read(&kvm->nr_memslots_dirty_logging);
	if ((enable && nr_slots == 1) || !nr_slots)
		kvm_make_all_cpus_request(kvm, KVM_REQ_UPDATE_CPU_DIRTY_LOGGING);

Or if we want to be unnecessarily clever :-)

	if (((old_flags ^ new_flags) & KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES) &&
	    kvm_x86_ops.cpu_dirty_log_size &&
	    !(atomic_read(&kvm->nr_memslots_dirty_logging) - log_dirty_pages))
		kvm_make_all_cpus_request(kvm, KVM_REQ_UPDATE_CPU_DIRTY_LOGGING);
