[PATCH 1/3] KVM: x86: remove unnecessary rmap walk of read-only memslots

[Anthony Yznaga]

There's no write access to remove.  An existing memslot cannot be updated
to set or clear KVM_MEM_READONLY, and any mappings established in a newly
created or moved read-only memslot will already be read-only.
