Subject: [PATCH v5 6/9] KVM MMU: support keeping sp live while it's out of
 protection

If we want to keep sp live while it it's out of kvm->mmu_lock protection,
we can increase sp->active_count.

Then, the invalid page is not only for active root but also unsync sp, we
should filter those out when we make a page to unsync.

And move 'hlist_del(&sp->hash_link)' into kvm_mmu_free_page() then we can
free the invalid unsync page to call kvm_mmu_free_page directly.
