KVM: MMU: fix dirty bit setting when removing write permissions

When mmu_set_spte() checks if a page related to spte should be release as
dirty or clean, it check if the shadow pte was writeble, but in case
rmap_write_protect() is called called it is possible for shadow ptes that were
writeble to become readonly and therefor mmu_set_spte will release the pages
as clean.

This patch fix this issue by marking the page as dirty inside
rmap_write_protect().
