Subject: [PATCH v3 10/28] KVM: x86/mmu: Add helpers to read/write TDP MMU
 SPTEs and document RCU

Add helpers to read and write TDP MMU SPTEs instead of open coding
rcu_dereference() all over the place, and to provide a convenient
location to document why KVM doesn't exempt holding mmu_lock for write
from having to hold RCU (and any future changes to the rules).

No functional change intended.
