Nit on all of these, can you remove the extra newline between the Reviewed-by
and SOB?

Include the new check with the existing if statement? I think it makes sense to
group all the checks on old_spte.

Same comment here.

Unrelated to this patch, but it got me looking at the code: shouldn't
clear_dirty_pt_masked() clear the bit in @mask before checking whether or not
the spte needs to be modified? That way the early break kicks in after sptes
are checked, not necessarily written. E.g.

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/mmu/tdp_mmu.c b/arch/x86/kvm/mmu/tdp_mmu.c
