KVM: MMU: do not record gfn in kvm_mmu_pte_write
No need to record the gfn to verifier the pte has the same mode as current vcpu, it's because we only speculatively update the pte only if the pte and vcpu have the same mode Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
