KVM: MMU: Introduce drop_spte()

When we call rmap_remove(), we (almost) always immediately follow it by
an __set_spte() to a nonpresent pte.  Since we need to perform the two
operations atomically, to avoid losing the dirty and accessed bits, introduce
a helper drop_spte() and convert all call sites.

The operation is still nonatomic at this point.
