KVM: x86/mmu: Make kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root() return void

Browse source

The kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root() function currently always returns 0. This
allows for the caller, mmu_alloc_direct_roots(), to call
kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root() and also return 0 in one line:
   return kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root(vcpu);

So it is useful even though the return value of kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root()
is always the same. However, in future changes, kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root()
will be called twice in mmu_alloc_direct_roots(). This will force the
first call to either awkwardly handle the return value that will always
be zero or ignore it. So change kvm_tdp_mmu_alloc_root() to return void.
Do it in a separate change so the future change will be cleaner.
