From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
In kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(), tlbs_dirty is used as:
need_tlb_flush |= kvm->tlbs_dirty;
with need_tlb_flush's type being int and tlbs_dirty's type being long.
It means that tlbs_dirty is always used as int and the higher 32 bits
is useless. We need to check tlbs_dirty in a correct way and this
change checks it directly without propagating it to need_tlb_flush.
Note: it's _extremely_ unlikely this neglecting of higher 32 bits can
cause problems in practice. It would require encountering tlbs_dirty
on a 4 billion count boundary, and KVM would need to be using shadow
paging or be running a nested guest.
