KVM: MMU: simplify folding of dirty bit into accessed_dirty
MMU code tries to avoid if()s HW is not able to predict reliably by using bitwise operation to streamline code execution, but in case of a dirty bit folding this gives us nothing since write_fault is checked right before the folding code. Lets just piggyback onto the if() to make code more clear. Signed-off-by: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
