Consider the case that for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp() loop is
not triggered, means the gfn is not MMU page table page:

The old behavior when : return 0;
The new behavior with this change: returrn -EPERM / -EEXIST;

It at least breaks FNAME(sync_page) -> make_spte(prefetch = true, can_unsync = false)
which removes PT_WRITABLE_MASK from last level mapping unexpectedly.
