KVM: x86/mmu: Skip invalid TDP MMU roots when write-protecting SPTEs

Browse source

When write-protecting SPTEs, don't process invalid roots as invalid roots
are unreachable, i.e. can't be used to access guest memory and thus don't
need to be write-protected.

Note, this is *almost* a nop for kvm_tdp_mmu_clear_dirty_pt_masked(),
which is called under slots_lock, i.e. is mutually exclusive with
kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast().  But it's possible for something other than the
"fast zap" thread to grab a reference to an invalid root and thus keep a
root alive (but completely empty) after kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast() completes.

The kvm_tdp_mmu_write_protect_gfn() case is more interesting as KVM write-
protects SPTEs for reasons other than dirty logging, e.g. if a KVM creates
a SPTE for a nested VM while a fast zap is in-progress.

Add another TDP MMU iterator to visit only valid roots, and
opportunistically convert kvm_tdp_mmu_get_vcpu_root_hpa() to said iterator.
