When enabling dirty log in small chunks (e.g., QEMU default chunk
size of 256K), the chunk size is always smaller than the page size
of huge pages (1G or 2M) used in the gstage page tables. This caused
the write protection to be incorrectly skipped for huge PTEs because
the condition `(end - addr) >= page_size` was not satisfied.

Remove the size check in `kvm_riscv_gstage_wp_range()` to ensure huge
PTEs are always write-protected regardless of the chunk size. Additionally,
explicitly align the address down to the page size before invoking
`kvm_riscv_gstage_op_pte()` to guarantee that the address passed to the
operation function is page-aligned.

This fixes the issue where dirty pages might not be tracked correctly
when using huge pages.
