Subject: [PATCH v6 5/8] KVM: x86/mmu: Track the number of TDP MMU pages, but
 not the actual pages

Track the number of TDP MMU "shadow" pages instead of tracking the pages
themselves. With the NX huge page list manipulation moved out of the common
linking flow, elminating the list-based tracking means the happy path of
adding a shadow page doesn't need to acquire a spinlock and can instead
inc/dec an atomic.

Keep the tracking as the WARN during TDP MMU teardown on leaked shadow
pages is very, very useful for detecting KVM bugs.

Tracking the number of pages will also make it trivial to expose the
counter to userspace as a stat in the future, which may or may not be
desirable.

Note, the TDP MMU needs to use a separate counter (and stat if that ever
comes to be) from the existing n_used_mmu_pages. The TDP MMU doesn't bother
supporting the shrinker nor does it honor KVM_SET_NR_MMU_PAGES (because the
TDP MMU consumes so few pages relative to shadow paging), and including TDP
MMU pages in that counter would break both the shrinker and shadow MMUs,
e.g. if a VM is using nested TDP.
