[RFC 07/19] KVM: x86/mmu: Factor wrprot for nested PML out of make_spte

From: Ben Gardon
Date: Wed Nov 10 2021 - 17:30:59 EST


When running a nested VM, KVM write protects SPTEs in the EPT/NPT02
instead of using PML for dirty tracking. This avoids expensive
translation later, when emptying the Page Modification Log. In service
of removing the vCPU pointer from make_spte, factor the check for nested
PML out of the function.
