Subject: [PATCH v4 08/30] KVM: x86/mmu: Check for !leaf=>leaf, not PFN change, in TDP MMU SP removal

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@...gle.com>

Look for a !leaf=>leaf conversion instead of a PFN change when checking
if a SPTE change removed a TDP MMU shadow page.  Convert the PFN check
into a WARN, as KVM should never change the PFN of a shadow page (except
when its being zapped or replaced).

>From a purely theoretical perspective, it's not illegal to replace a SP
with a hugepage pointing at the same PFN.  In practice, it's impossible
as that would require mapping guest memory overtop a kernel-allocated SP.
Either way, the check is odd.
