kvm_mmu_pte_write() does not handle 32-bit non-PAE large page backed
guests properly. It will instantiate two 2MB sptes pointing to the same
physical 2MB page when a guest large pte update is trapped.
Instead of duplicating code to handle this, disallow directory level
updates to happen through kvm_mmu_pte_write(), so the two 2MB sptes
emulating one guest 4MB pte can be correctly created by the page fault
handling path.

This fix reminded me of this stack trace I looked some time ago, it
was also related to a 4M user pte IIRC, may they be related? In such a
case we can should update the bug status.

Don't think it is related, the bug which patch fixes can only be
triggered if the guest is large page backed, which does not seem to be
the case of this bug report.

This seems to be a regular 4k shadow pte:
0x63 = PT_PRESENT|PT_WRITABLE|PT_ACCESSED|PT_DIRTY
Its tainted too: nvidia(P)
