Subject: [PATCH 7/7] KVM: X86/MMU: Remove mmu_alloc_special_roots()

From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@...group.com>

mmu_alloc_special_roots() allocates mmu->pae_root for non-PAE paging
(as for shadowing 32bit NPT on 64 bit host) and mmu->pml4_root and
mmu->pml5_root.

But mmu->pml4_root and mmu->pml5_root is not used, neither mmu->pae_root
for non-PAE paging.

So remove mmu_alloc_special_roots(), mmu->pml4_root and mmu->pml5_root.
