KVM: MMU: Fix potential race setting upper shadow ptes on nonpae hosts
The direct mapped shadow code (used for real mode and two dimensional paging)
sets upper-level ptes using direct assignment rather than calling
set_shadow_pte(). A nonpae host will split this into two writes, which opens
up a race if another vcpu accesses the same memory area.
Fix by calling set_shadow_pte() instead of assigning directly.
Noticed by Izik Eidus.
