Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] KVM: MMU: don't get free page number in the loop

In the later patch, we will modify sp's zapping way like below:

	kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page A
	kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page B
	kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page C
	....
	kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page

[ zaped multiple sps only need to call kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page once ]	

In __kvm_mmu_free_some_pages() function, the free page number is
getted form 'vcpu->kvm->arch.n_free_mmu_pages' in loop, it will
hinders us to apply kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() and kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page()
since kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() not free sp.
