Verified cpu_dirty_logging_count does indeed hit zero during VM destruction.
Adding a WARN to KVM would require adding an arch hook to kvm_free_memslots(),
otherwise the count will be non-zero if the VM is destroyed with dirty logging
active. That doesn't seem worthwhile, so I'm not planning on pursuing a WARN
for the upstream code.
