kvm: x86/mmu: Don't clear write flooding count for direct roots
Direct roots don't have a write flooding count because the guest can't affect that paging structure. Thus there's no need to clear the write flooding count on a fast CR3 switch for direct roots. Tested by running kvm-unit-tests and KVM selftests on an Intel Haswell machine. This series introduced no new failures.
