[RFC PATCH v3 07/19] KVM: x86: mmu: tweak fast path for emulation of access to nested NPT pages

If a non leaf mmu page is write tracked externally for some reason,
which can in theory happen if it was used for nested avic physid page
before, then this code will enter an endless loop of page faults because
unprotecting the mmu page will not remove write tracking, nor will the
write tracker callback be called, because there is no mmu page at
this address.

Fix this by only invoking the fast path if we succeeded in zapping the
mmu page.
