Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: x86/mmu: Fix a TDP MMU leak and optimize zap all

Patch 1 fixes a leak of root-1 shadow pages, patch 2 is a minor
optimization to the zap all flow that avoids re-reading and re-checking
the root-1 SPTEs after they've been zapped by "zap all" flows.

I'm still somewhat on the fence for patch 2, feel free to drop it.

v2:
 - Replaced magic number silliness with Paolo's much more clever suggestion.
 - Elaborated on the benefits of the optimization.
 - Add Ben's somewhat reluctant review for the optimization.

v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210812050717.3176478-1-seanjc@google.com

Sean Christopherson (2):
  KVM: x86/mmu: Don't leak non-leaf SPTEs when zapping all SPTEs
  KVM: x86/mmu: Don't step down in the TDP iterator when zapping all
    SPTEs
