Fixes for two (very) theoretical TLB flushing bugs (patches 1 and 4),
and clean ups on top to (hopefully) consolidate and simplifiy the TLB
flushing logic.

The basic gist of the TLB flush and MMU sync code shuffling  is to stop
relying on the logic in __kvm_mmu_new_pgd() (but keep it for forced
flushing), and instead handle the flush+sync logic in the caller
independent from whether or not the "fast" switch occurs.

I spent a fair bit of time trying to shove the necessary logic down into
__kvm_mmu_new_pgd(), but it always ended up a complete mess because the
requirements and contextual information is always different.  The rules
for MOV CR3 are different from nVMX transitions (and those vary based on
EPT+VPID), and nSVM will be different still (once it adds proper TLB
handling).  In particular, I like that nVMX no longer has special code
for synchronizing the MMU when using shadowing paging and instead relies
on the common rules for TLB flushing.

Note, this series (indirectly) relies heavily on commit b53e84eed08b
("KVM: x86: Unload MMU on guest TLB flush if TDP disabled to force MMU
sync"), as it uses KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH_GUEST (was KVM_REQ_HV_TLB_FLUSH)
to do the TLB flush _and_ the MMU sync in non-PV code.

Tested all combinations for i386, EPT, NPT, and shadow paging. I think...

The EPTP switching and INVPCID single-context changes in particular lack
meaningful coverage in kvm-unit-tests+Linux.  Long term it's on my todo
list to remedy that, but realistically I doubt I'll get it done anytime
soon.

To test EPTP switching, I hacked L1 to set up a duplicate top-level EPT
table, copy the "real" table to the duplicate table on EPT violation,
populate VMFUNC.EPTP_LIST with the two EPTPs, expose  VMFUNC.EPTP_SWITCH
to L2.  I then hacked L2 to do an EPTP switch to a random (valid) EPTP
index on every task switch.

To test INVPCID single-context I modified L1 to iterate over all possible
PCIDs using INVPCID single-context in native_flush_tlb_global().  I also
verified that the guest crashed if it didn't do any INVPCID at all
(interestingly, the guest made it through boot without the flushes when
EPT was enabled, which implies the missing MMU sync on INVPCID was the
source of the crash, not a stale TLB entry).
