kvm: x86/mmu: Support disabling dirty logging for the tdp MMU
Dirty logging ultimately breaks down MMU mappings to 4k granularity. When dirty logging is no longer needed, these granaular mappings represent a useless performance penalty. When dirty logging is disabled, search the paging structure for mappings that could be re-constituted into a large page mapping. Zap those mappings so that they can be faulted in again at a higher mapping level. Tested by running kvm-unit-tests and KVM selftests on an Intel Haswell machine. This series introduced no new failures.
