KVM: x86/mmu: Bypass __handle_changed_spte() when aging TDP MMU SPTEs

Browse source

Drop everything except the "tdp_mmu_spte_changed" tracepoint part of
__handle_changed_spte() when aging SPTEs in the TDP MMU, as clearing the
accessed status doesn't affect the SPTE's shadow-present status, whether
or not the SPTE is a leaf, or change the PFN.  I.e. none of the functional
updates handled by __handle_changed_spte() are relevant.

Losing __handle_changed_spte()'s sanity checks does mean that a bug could
theoretical go unnoticed, but that scenario is extremely unlikely, e.g.
would effectively require a misconfigured MMU or a locking bug elsewhere.
