Hi Sean,
The checking of existence of memslot is still useful,
Otherwise NULL pointer dereference would be met as in below call trace.

mmu_alloc_shadow_roots
 |->mmu_alloc_root
    |->mmu_alloc_root(root_gfn)
       |->kvm_mmu_get_shadow_page
          |->__kvm_mmu_get_shadow_page
             |->kvm_mmu_alloc_shadow_page
                |->account_shadowed
                   |->slot = __gfn_to_memslot(slots, gfn);                    ==>NULL pointer
                   |  kvm_slot_page_track_add_page(kvm, slot, gfn,KVM_PAGE_TRACK_WRITE);
                      |->update_gfn_track(slot, gfn, mode, 1);
                         |->index = gfn_to_index(gfn, slot->base_gfn, PG_LEVEL_4K);  ==>NULL pointer dereference


Thanks
