Vhost log dirty pages directly to a userspace bitmap through GUP and
kmap_atomic() since kernel doesn't have a set_bit_to_user()
helper. This will cause issues for the arch that has virtually tagged
caches. The way to fix is to keep using userspace virtual address.
Fortunately, futex has a cmpxchg to userspace memory helper
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). So switch to use it to exchange the
userspace bitmap with zero, set the bit and then write it back through
put_user().
Note: there're archs (few non popular ones) that don't implement
futex helper, we can't log dirty pages. We can fix them on top or
simply disable LOG_ALL features of vhost.
