Move the event re-injection unprotect+retry logic into
kvm_mmu_write_protect_fault(), i.e. unprotect and retry if and only if
the #PF actually hit a write-protected gfn. Note, there is a small
possibility that the gfn was unprotected by a different tasking between
hitting the #PF and acquiring mmu_lock, but in that case, KVM will resume
the guest immediately anyways because KVM will treat the fault as spurious.
As a bonus, unprotecting _after_ handling the page fault also addresses the
case where the installing a SPTE to handle fault encounters a shadowed PTE,
i.e. *creates* a read-only SPTE.
Opportunstically add a comment explaining what on earth the intent of the
code is, as based on the changelog from commit 577bdc4966 ("KVM: Avoid
instruction emulation when event delivery is pending").

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 reStructuredText 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.
