Use a tone down version of __handle_changed_spte() when clearing dirty
log. Remove checks which will not be needed when dirty logs are cleared.
This change shows ~13% improvement in clear dirty log calls in
dirty_log_perf_test
Before tone down version:
Clear dirty log over 3 iterations took 10.006764203s. (Avg 3.335588067s/iteration)
After tone down version:
Clear dirty log over 3 iterations took 8.686433554s. (Avg 2.895477851s/iteration)
