kvm: mmu: Use fast PF path for access tracking of huge pages when possible
The fast page fault path bails out on write faults to huge pages in order to accommodate dirty logging. This change adds a check to do that only when dirty logging is actually enabled, so that access tracking for huge pages can still use the fast path for write faults in the common case.
