KVM: MMU: rename has_wrprotected_page to mmu_gfn_lpage_is_disallowed
kvm_lpage_info->write_count is used to detect if the large page mapping for the gfn on the specified level is allowed, rename it to disallow_lpage to reflect its purpose, also we rename has_wrprotected_page() to mmu_gfn_lpage_is_disallowed() to make the code more clearer Later we will extend this mechanism for page tracking: if the gfn is tracked then large mapping for that gfn on any level is not allowed. The new name is more straightforward Reviewed-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <guangrong.xiao@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
