This is v8 of the dirty quota series, with the following changes over
v7:

1. Removed pages_dirtied stat. Now, a single variable
dirty_quota_bytes is being used for throttling.
2. IOCTL to enable/disable dirty quota throttling. Enabling/disabling
can be done dynamically, e.g. we can enable dirty quota just before a
live migration and disable it just after the live migration.
3. Decoupled dirty quota from dirty logging. Introduced a new function
update_dirty_quota that decreases dirty_quota_bytes by by the
appropriate architecture-specific granule or page size. It also raises
a KVM request if dirty quota is exhausted.
4. Each arch that wants to use dirty quota throttling feature needs
to call update_dirty_quota at each time a page is dirtied. Also, it
needs to process the KVM request raised by update_dirty_quota and
facilitate exit to userspace. Added support for x86 and arm64.
5. Code refactoring and minor nits.
