Subject: [PATCH v5 1/9] KVM: Add lockless memslot walk to KVM

Provide flexibility to the architecture to synchronize as optimally as
they can instead of always taking the MMU lock for writing.

Architectures that do their own locking must select
CONFIG_KVM_MMU_NOTIFIER_YOUNG_LOCKLESS.

The immediate application is to allow architectures to implement the
test/clear_young MMU notifiers more cheaply.
