In patch 21,
fault->is_private is set as:
	".is_private = kvm_mem_is_private(vcpu->kvm, cr2_or_gpa >> PAGE_SHIFT)",
then, the inequality here means memory attribute has been updated after
last check.
So, why an exit to user space for converting is required instead of a mere retry?

Or, is it because how .is_private is assigned in patch 21 is subjected to change
in future?
