Subject: [PATCH 10/28] KVM: x86/mmu: Allow yielding when zapping GFNs for
 defunct TDP MMU root

Allow yielding when zapping SPTEs for a defunct TDP MMU root.  Yielding
is safe from a TDP perspective, as the root is unreachable.  The only
potential danger is putting a root from a non-preemptible context, and
KVM currently does not do so.

Yield-unfriendly iteration uses for_each_tdp_mmu_root(), which doesn't
take a reference to each root (it requires mmu_lock be held for the
entire duration of the walk).

tdp_mmu_next_root() is used only by the yield-friendly iterator.

kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_invalidated_roots() is explicitly yield friendly.

kvm_mmu_free_roots() => mmu_free_root_page() is a much bigger fan-out,
but is still yield-friendly in all call sites, as all callers can be
traced back to some combination of vcpu_run(), kvm_destroy_vm(), and/or
kvm_create_vm().
