Subject: [PATCH v4 02/13] KVM: x86: Don't call kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() if the count hasn't changed

From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <maciej.szmigiero@...cle.com>

There is no point in calling kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() for memslot
operations that don't change the total page count, so do it just for
KVM_MR_CREATE and KVM_MR_DELETE.
