Move the event re-injection unprotect+retry logic into
kvm_mmu_write_protect_fault(), i.e. unprotect and retry if and only if
the #PF actually hit a write-protected gfn.  Note, there is a small
possibility that the gfn was unprotected by a different tasking between
hitting the #PF and acquiring mmu_lock, but in that case, KVM will resume
the guest immediately anyways because KVM will treat the fault as spurious.

As a bonus, unprotecting _after_ handling the page fault also addresses the
case where the installing a SPTE to handle fault encounters a shadowed PTE,
i.e. *creates* a read-only SPTE.

Opportunstically add a comment explaining what on earth the intent of the
code is, as based on the changelog from commit 577bdc496614 ("KVM: Avoid
instruction emulation when event delivery is pending").

This paragraph should go before the description of
kvm_mmu_unprotect_gfn_and_retry:

	 * There are two cases in which we try to unprotect the page here
	 * preemptively, i.e. zap any shadow pages, before emulating the
	 * instruction.
	 *
	 * First, the access may be due to L1 accessing nested NPT/EPT entries
	 * used for L2, i.e. if the gfn being written is for gPTEs that KVM is
	 * shadowing and has write-protected.  In this case, because AMD CPUs
	 * walk nested page table using a write operation, walking NPT entries
	 * in L1 can trigger write faults even when L1 isn't modifying PTEs.
	 * KVM would then emulate an excessive number of L1 instructions
	 * without triggering KVM's write-flooding detection, i.e. without
	 * unprotecting the gfn.  This is detected as a RO violation while
	 * translating the guest page when the current MMU is direct.
	 *
	 * Second, for indirect MMUs, i.e. if KVM is shadowing the current MMU,
	 * unprotect the gfn and reenter the guest if an event is awaiting
	 * reinjection.  If KVM emulates multiple instructions before completing
	 * event injection, the event could be delayed beyond what is
	 * architecturally allowed, e.g. KVM could inject an IRQ after the
	 * TPR has been raised.
	 *
	 * In both cases, if one or more shadow pages were zapped, skip
	 * emulation and resume L1 to let it natively execute the instruction.
	 * If no shadow pages were zapped, then the write-fault is due to
	 * something else entirely and KVM needs to emulate, as resuming
	 * the guest will put it into an infinite loop.
