PoD,hap: Fix logdirty mode when using hardware assisted paging

When writing a writable p2m entry for a pfn, we need to mark the pfn
dirty to avoid corruption when doing live migration.

Marking the page dirty exposes another issue, where there are
excessive sweeps for zero pages if there's a mismatch between PoD
entries and cache entries. Only sweep for zero pages if we actually
need more memory.
