KVM: x86/mmu: Don't allow TDP MMU to yield when recovering NX pages
Prevent the TDP MMU from yielding when zapping a gfn range during NX
page recovery. If a flush is pending from a previous invocation of the
zapping helper, either in the TDP MMU or the legacy MMU, but the TDP MMU
has not accumulated a flush for the current invocation, then yielding
will release mmu_lock with stale TLB entries.
That being said, this isn't technically a bug fix in the current code, as
the TDP MMU will never yield in this case. tdp_mmu_iter_cond_resched()
will yield if and only if it has made forward progress, as defined by the
current gfn vs. the last yielded (or starting) gfn. Because zapping a
single shadow page is guaranteed to (a) find that page and (b) step
sideways at the level of the shadow page, the TDP iter will break its loop
before getting a chance to yield.
But that is all very, very subtle, and will break at the slightest sneeze,
e.g. zapping while holding mmu_lock for read would break as the TDP MMU
wouldn't be guaranteed to see the present shadow page, and thus could step
sideways at a lower level.
