Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Don't treat fully writable SPTEs as volatile
 (modulo A/D)

Don't treat SPTEs that are truly writable, i.e. writable in hardware, as
being volatile (unless they're volatile for other reasons, e.g. A/D bits).
KVM _sets_ the WRITABLE bit out of mmu_lock, but never _clears_ the bit
out of mmu_lock, so if the WRITABLE bit is set, it cannot magically get
cleared just because the SPTE is MMU-writable.

Rename the wrapper of MMU-writable to be more literal, the previous name
of spte_can_locklessly_be_made_writable() is wrong and misleading.
