Don't treat SPTEs that are truly writable, i.e. writable in hardware, as
being volatile (unless they're volatile for other reasons, e.g. A/D bits).
KVM _sets_ the WRITABLE bit out of mmu_lock, but never _clears_ the bit
out of mmu_lock, so if the WRITABLE bit is set, it cannot magically get
cleared just because the SPTE is MMU-writable.
Rename the wrapper of MMU-writable to be more literal, the previous name
of spte_can_locklessly_be_made_writable() is wrong and misleading.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
