The KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl lacks the check whether the capability
KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT is enabled or not. This may cause
some problems if userspace calls the KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl, but
dose't enable this capability. So we'd better to add it.

Fixes: 2a31b9db15353 ("kvm: introduce manual dirty log reprotect")

This is not a problem, KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG can always be used even if 
KVM_CAP_MANUAL_DIRTY_LOG_PROTECT was not enabled.  The meaning is the 
same: clear the bits without returning them.
