DIAGNOSE 0318 is invoked only once during IPL. As such, the
diag318 info will only change once initially and during resets.
Let's only sync the register to convey the info to KVM if and
only if the diag318 info has changed. Only set the dirty bit
flag for diag318 whenever it must be updated.

The migration handler will invoke the set_diag318 helper on
post_load to ensure the info is set on the destination machine.

This is a long-overdue response to this thread:

Is this really necessary? In my logs the sync only happens for larger
changes (like reset) operations and then yes we log again.
But I think it is ok to see such a log entry in these rare events.

Albeit a micro-optimization, I don't see why the diag318 dirtied bit
must to be set during /every/ sync. It makes more sense to set the flag
after the register was actually modified.

My point is that it is NOT set during /every/ sync.
We only set it when level != KVM_PUT_RUNTIME_STATE (see kvm_arch_put_registers)
And this basically never happens during normal runtime, only for major events
like reset.
