KVM: x86/mmu: Ensure MMU pages are available when allocating roots

Hold the mmu_lock for write for the entire duration of allocating and
initializing an MMU's roots.  This ensures there are MMU pages available
and thus prevents root allocations from failing.  That in turn fixes a
bug where KVM would fail to free valid PAE roots if a one of the later
roots failed to allocate.

Add a comment to make_mmu_pages_available() to call out that the limit
is a soft limit, e.g. KVM will temporarily exceed the threshold if a
page fault allocates multiple shadow pages and there was only one page
"available".

Note, KVM _still_ leaks the PAE roots if the guest PDPTR checks fail.
This will be addressed in a future commit.
