Subject: [PATCH v2] KVM: x86/mmu: Update number of zapped pages even if page
 list is stable

When zapping obsolete pages, update the running count of zapped pages
regardless of whether or not the list has become unstable due to zapping
a shadow page with its own child shadow pages.  If the VM is backed by
mostly 4kb pages, KVM can zap an absurd number of SPTEs without bumping
the batch count and thus without yielding.  In the worst case scenario,
this can cause a soft lokcup.

v2:
 - Rebase to kvm/master, commit 30d7c5d60a88 ("KVM: SEV: expose...")
 - Collect Ben's review, modulo bad splat.
 - Copy+paste the correct splat and symptom. [David].

@David, I kept the unstable declaration out of the loop, mostly because I
really don't like putting declarations in loops, but also because
nr_zapped is declared out of the loop and I didn't want to change that
unnecessarily or make the code inconsistent.
