Actually, this can be a straight revert of 58d2930f4ee3.

Yes, we could avoid grabbing it as long as the bitmap is zero. However, without kvm->manual_dirty_log_protect, the granularity of kvm_get_dirty_log_protect() is too coarse so it won't happen in practice. Instead, with the new manual clear, kvm_get_dirty_log_protect() does not take the lock and a well-written userspace is not going to call the clear ioctl unless some bits are set. Paolo
