Subject: [PATCH v2 7/7] KVM: WARN if is_unsync_root() is called on a root
 without a shadow page

WARN and bail if is_unsync_root() is passed a root for which there is no
shadow page, i.e. is passed the physical address of one of the special
roots, which do not have an associated shadow page.  The current usage
squeaks by without bug reports because neither kvm_mmu_sync_roots() nor
kvm_mmu_sync_prev_roots() calls the helper with pae_root or pml4_root,
and 5-level AMD CPUs are not generally available, i.e. no one can coerce
KVM into calling is_unsync_root() on pml5_root.

Note, this doesn't fix the mess with 5-level nNPT, it just (hopefully)
prevents KVM from crashing.
