KVM: use 'writable' as a hint to map writable pfn
In current code, we always map writable pfn for the read fault, in order to support readonly memslot, we map writable pfn only if 'writable' is not NULL Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
