KVM: x86/mmu: Try "unprotect for retry" iff there are indirect SPs

Browse source

Try to unprotect shadow pages if and only if indirect_shadow_pages is non-
zero, i.e. iff there is at least one protected such shadow page.  Pre-
checking indirect_shadow_pages avoids taking mmu_lock for write when the
gfn is write-protected by a third party, i.e. not for KVM shadow paging,
and in the *extremely* unlikely case that a different task has already
unprotected the last shadow page.
