[PATCH 11/27] KVM: x86/mmu: Don't bounce through page-track mechanism for guest PTEs

Don't use the generic page-track mechanism to handle writes to guest PTEs
in KVM's MMU. KVM's MMU needs access to information that should not be
exposed to external page-track users, e.g. KVM needs (for some definitions
of "need") the vCPU to query the current paging mode, whereas external
users, i.e. KVMGT, have no ties to the current vCPU and so should never
need the vCPU.

Moving away from the page-track mechanism will allow dropping use of the
page-track mechanism for KVM's own MMU, and will also allow simplifying
and cleaning up the page-track APIs.
