[PATCH v9 05/11] KVM: x86/mmu: Rename spte_has_volatile_bits() to spte_needs_atomic_write()

[James Houghton <jthoughton@google.com>]

spte_has_volatile_bits() is now a misnomer, as the an SPTE can have its
Accessed bit set or cleared without the mmu_lock held, but the state of
the Accessed bit is not checked in spte_has_volatile_bits().
Even if a caller uses spte_needs_atomic_write(), Accessed bit
information may still be lost, but that is already tolerated, as the TLB
is not invalidated after the Accessed bit is cleared.
