When a memory slot is being moved or removed users of page track
can be notified. So users can drop write-protection for the pages
in that memory slot.
This notifier type is needed by KVMGT to sync up its shadow page
table when memory slot is being moved or removed.
Register the notifier type track_flush_slot to receive memslot move
and remove event.

Notifier list is introduced so that any node wants to receive the track
event can register to the list
Two APIs are introduced here:
- kvm_page_track_register_notifier(): register the notifier to receive
track event
- kvm_page_track_unregister_notifier(): stop receiving track event by
unregister the notifier
The callback, node->track_write() is called when a write access on the
write tracked page happens

The page fault caused by write access on the write tracked page can not
be fixed, it always need to be emulated. page_fault_handle_page_track()
is the fast path we introduce here to skip holding mmu-lock and shadow
page table walking
However, if the page table is not present, it is worth making the page
table entry present and readonly to make the read access happy
mmu_need_write_protect() need to be cooked to avoid page becoming writable
when making page table present or sync/prefetch shadow page table entries

These two functions are the user APIs:
- kvm_slot_page_track_add_page(): add the page to the tracking pool
after that later specified access on that page will be tracked
- kvm_slot_page_track_remove_page(): remove the page from the tracking
pool, the specified access on the page is not tracked after the last
user is gone
Both of these are called under the protection both of mmu-lock and
kvm->srcu or kvm->slots_lock

The array, gfn_track[mode][gfn], is introduced in memory slot for every
guest page, this is the tracking count for the gust page on different
modes. If the page is tracked then the count is increased, the page is
not tracked after the count reaches zero
We use 'unsigned short' as the tracking count which should be enough as
shadow page table only can use 2^14 (2^3 for level, 2^1 for cr4_pae, 2^2
for quadrant, 2^3 for access, 2^1 for nxe, 2^1 for cr0_wp, 2^1 for
smep_andnot_wp, 2^1 for smap_andnot_wp, and 2^1 for smm) at most, there
is enough room for other trackers
Two callbacks, kvm_page_track_create_memslot() and
kvm_page_track_free_memslot() are implemented in this patch, they are
internally used to initialize and reclaim the memory of the array
Currently, only write track mode is supported
