KVM: MMU: Fix potential race setting upper shadow ptes on nonpae hosts
Original-Commit-Hash: c23a6fe17abf8562e675465f8d55ba1a551d314d The direct mapped shadow code (used for real mode and two dimensional paging) sets upper-level ptes using direct assignment rather than calling set_shadow_pte(). A nonpae host will split this into two writes, which opens up a race if another vcpu accesses the same memory area. Fix by calling set_shadow_pte() instead of assigning directly.
