Subject: [PATCH v3 23/28] KVM: x86/mmu: Check for a REMOVED leaf SPTE before
 making the SPTE

Explicitly check for a REMOVED leaf SPTE prior to attempting to map
the final SPTE when handling a TDP MMU fault.  Functionally, this is a
nop as tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() will eventually detect the frozen SPTE.
Pre-checking for a REMOVED SPTE is a minor optmization, but the real goal
is to allow tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic() to have an invariant that the "old"
SPTE is never a REMOVED SPTE.
