Move the implementations of KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG and KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG

The arch specific implemenations are extremely similar, differing
only in whether the dirty log needs to be sync'd from hardware (x86)
and how the TLBs are flushed.  Add new arch hooks to handle sync
and TLB flush; the sync will also be used for non-generic dirty log
support in a future patch (s390).

The ulterior motive for providing a common implementation is to
eliminate the dependency between arch and common code with respect to
the memslot referenced by the dirty log, i.e. to make it obvious in the
code that the validity of the memslot is guaranteed, as a future patch
will rework memslot handling such that id_to_memslot() can return NULL.

I notice you add empty definitions of kvm_arch_sync_dirty_log() for
PPC, both Book E and Book 3S.  Given that PPC doesn't select
CONFIG_KVM_GENERIC_DIRTYLOG_READ_PROTECT, why is this necessary?
