KVM: Remove test-before-set optimization for dirty bits
As Avi pointed out, testing bit part in mark_page_dirty() was important in the days of shadow paging, but currently EPT and NPT has already become common and the chance of faulting a page more that once per iteration is small. So let's remove the test bit to avoid extra access. Signed-off-by: Takuya Yoshikawa <yoshikawa.takuya@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
