KVM: x86/mmu: Track tail count in pte_list_desc to optimize guest fork()

Rework "struct pte_list_desc" and pte_list_{add|remove} to track the tail
count, i.e. number of PTEs in non-head descriptors, and to always keep all
tail descriptors full so that adding a new entry and counting the number
of entries is done in constant time instead of linear time.

No visible performace is changed in tests.  But pte_list_add() is no longer
shown in the perf result for the COWed pages even the guest forks millions
of tasks.
