KVM: VMX: Track root HPA instead of EPTP for paravirt Hyper-V TLB flush

Browse source

Track the address of the top-level EPT struct, a.k.a. the root HPA,
instead of the EPTP itself for Hyper-V's paravirt TLB flush.  The
paravirt API takes only the address, not the full EPTP, and in theory
tracking the EPTP could lead to false negatives, e.g. if the HPA matched
but the attributes in the EPTP do not.  In practice, such a mismatch is
extremely unlikely, if not flat out impossible, given how KVM generates
the EPTP.

Opportunsitically rename the related fields to use the 'root'
nomenclature, and to prefix them with 'hv_' to connect them to Hyper-V's
paravirt TLB flushing.
