[patch 04/13] KVM: MMU: do not write-protect large mappings

There is not much point in write protecting large mappings. This
can only happen when a page is shadowed during the window between
is_largepage_backed and mmu_lock acquision. Zap the entry instead, so
the next pagefault will find a shadowed page via is_largepage_backed and
fallback to 4k translations.

Simplifies out of sync shadow.
