Subject: [PATCH 5.17 0953/1126] KVM: x86/mmu: Move "invalid" check out of kvm_tdp_mmu_get_root()

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

commit 04dc4e6ce274fa729feda32aa957b27388a3870c upstream.

Move the check for an invalid root out of kvm_tdp_mmu_get_root() and into
the one place it actually matters, tdp_mmu_next_root(), as the other user
already has an implicit validity check.  A future bug fix will need to
get references to invalid roots to honor mmu_notifier requests; there's
no point in forcing what will be a common path to open code getting a
reference to a root.

No functional change intended.
