KVM: Disable manual dirty log when dirty ring enabled
KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT2 is for KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG, which is only useful for KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG. Skip enabling it for kvm dirty ring. More importantly, KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET will not wr-protect all the pages initially, which is against how kvm dirty ring is used - there's no way for kvm dirty ring to re-protect a page before it's notified as being written first with a GFN entry in the ring! So when KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET is enabled with dirty ring, we'll see silent data loss after migration.
