Subject: [PATCH V3 2/2] KVM: X86: Move PTE present check from loop body to __shadow_walk_next()

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...ux.alibaba.com>

So far, the loop bodies already ensure the PTE is present before calling
__shadow_walk_next():  Some loop bodies simply exit with a !PRESENT
directly and some other loop bodies, i.e. FNAME(fetch) and __direct_map()
do not currently terminate their walks with a !PRESENT, but they get away
with it because they install present non-leaf SPTEs in the loop itself.

But checking pte present in __shadow_walk_next() is a more prudent way of
programing and loop bodies will not need to always check it. It allows us
removing unneeded is_shadow_present_pte() in the loop bodies.

Terminating on !is_shadow_present_pte() is 100% the correct behavior, as
walking past a !PRESENT SPTE would lead to attempting to read a the next
level SPTE from a garbage iter->shadow_addr.  Even some paths that do _not_
currently have a !is_shadow_present_pte() in the loop body is Ok since
they will install present non-leaf SPTEs and the additional present check
is just an NOP.

The checking result in __shadow_walk_next() will be propagated to
shadow_walk_okay() for being used in any for(;;) loop.
