Subject: [PATCH v4 15/30] KVM: x86/mmu: Skip remote TLB flush when zapping all of TDP MMU

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

Don't flush the TLBs when zapping all TDP MMU pages, as the only time KVM
uses the slow version of "zap everything" is when the VM is being
destroyed or the owning mm has exited.  In either case, KVM_RUN is
unreachable for the VM, i.e. the guest TLB entries cannot be consumed.
