KVM: MMU: only write protect mappings at pagetable level

If a pagetable contains a writeable large spte, all of its sptes will be
write protected, including non-leaf ones, leading to endless pagefaults.

Do not write protect pages above PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL, as the spte fault
paths assume non-leaf sptes are writable.
