A further thinking is can we move it to mmu_need_write_protect? Passing can_unsync as parameter to
kvm_unsync_pages sounds a little bit odd.

How about large page mapping? Such as if guest uses 2M mapping and its shadow is indirect, does
above WARN_ON still meet? As you removed the PT level check in mmu_need_write_protect.

Btw I also think this patch can be merged with patch 6.

We can not as it depends on patch 8. ;)
