Subject: [PATCH 05/24] KVM: x86/mmu: Retry page faults that hit an invalid memslot

Retry page faults (re-enter the guest) that hit an invalid memslot
instead of treating the memslot as not existing, i.e. handling the
page fault as an MMIO access.  When deleting a memslot, SPTEs aren't
zapped and the TLBs aren't flushed until after the memslot has been
marked invalid.

Handling the invalid slot as MMIO means there's a small window where a
page fault could replace a valid SPTE with an MMIO SPTE.  The legacy
MMU handles such a scenario cleanly, but the TDP MMU assumes such
behavior is impossible (see the BUG() in __handle_changed_spte()).
There's really no good reason why the legacy MMU should allow such a
scenario, and closing this hole allows for additional cleanups.
