Because kvm dirty rings and kvm dirty log is used in an exclusive way, Let's avoid creating the dirty_bitmap when kvm dirty ring is enabled. At the meantime, since the dirty_bitmap will be conditionally created now, we can't use it as a sign of "whether this memory slot enabled dirty tracking". Change users like that to check against the kvm memory slot flags. Note that there still can be chances where the kvm memory slot got its dirty_bitmap allocated, _if_ the memory slots are created before enabling of the dirty rings and at the same time with the dirty tracking capability enabled, they'll still with the dirty_bitmap. However it should not hurt much (e.g., the bitmaps will always be freed if they are there), and the real users normally won't trigger this because dirty bit tracking flag should in most cases only be applied to kvm slots only before migration starts, that should be far latter than kvm initializes (VM starts).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
