Subject: [PATCH v2 06/13] KVM: x86/mmu: Make TDP MMU root refcount atomic

In order to parallelize more operations for the TDP MMU, make the
refcount on TDP MMU roots atomic, so that a future patch can allow
multiple threads to take a reference on the root concurrently, while
holding the MMU lock in read mode.
