[PATCH v4 10/11] KVM: MMU: fix detecting misaligned accessed

[Xiao Guangrong]

Sometimes, we only modify the last one byte of a pte to update status bit,
for example, clear_bit is used to clear r/w bit in linux kernel and 'andb'
instruction is used in this function, in this case, kvm_mmu_pte_write will
treat it as misaligned access, and the shadow page table is zapped
