Subject: [PATCH 3/4] KVM: MMU: reduce the size of mmu_page_path

Currently only PT64_ROOT_LEVEL - 1 levels are used, one additional entry
in .parent[] is used as a sentinel, the additional entry in .idx[] is
purely wasted

This patch reduces its size and sets the sentinel on the upper level of
the place where we start from
