Nadav Amit b19ee2ff3b KVM: x86: avoid write-tearing of TDP
In theory, nothing prevents the compiler from write-tearing PTEs, or
split PTE writes. These partially-modified PTEs can be fetched by other
cores and cause mayhem. I have not really encountered such case in
real-life, but it does seem possible.

For example, the compiler may try to do something creative for
kvm_set_pte_rmapp() and perform multiple writes to the PTE.
