[PATCH v5 0/7] Lazily allocate memslot rmaps

[Ben Gardon <bgardon@google.com>]

This series enables KVM to save memory when using the TDP MMU by waiting
to allocate memslot rmaps until they are needed. To do this, KVM tracks
whether or not a shadow root has been allocated. In order to get away
with not allocating the rmaps, KVM must also be sure to skip operations
which iterate over the rmaps. If the TDP MMU is in use and we have not
allocated a shadow root, these operations would essentially be op-ops
anyway. Skipping the rmap operations has a secondary benefit of avoiding
acquiring the MMU lock in write mode in many cases, substantially
reducing MMU lock contention.

This series was tested on an Intel Skylake machine. With the TDP MMU off
and on, this introduced no new failures on kvm-unit-tests or KVM selftests.

Changelog:
v2:
	Incorporated feedback from Paolo and Sean
	Replaced the memslot_assignment_lock with slots_arch_lock, which
	has a larger critical section.

v3:
	Removed shadow_mmu_active as suggested by Sean
	Removed everything except adding a return value to
	kvm_mmu_init_tdp_mmu from patch 1 of v2
	Added RCU protection and better memory ordering for installing the
	memslot rmaps as suggested by Paolo
	Reordered most of the patches

v4:
	Renamed functions to allocate and free memslots based on feedback
	from David.
	Eliminated the goto in memslot_rmap_alloc, as David suggested.
	Eliminated kvm_memslots_have_rmaps and updated comments on uses of
	memslots_have_rmaps. Suggested by Paolo.
	Changed the description on patch 7 to one Paolo suggested.
	Collected Reviewed-by tags from David.
	Dropped the patch to add RCU notations to rmap accesses.

v5:
	Responding to comments from Sean.
	Improved comments
	Swapped args to kvm_copy_memslots to match memcpy
	Fixed some line wrap and declaration style issues
	No longer check if memslots have rmaps before operations which
	iterate through active_mmu_pages
	Re-added the kvm_memslots_have_rmaps helper
	Fixed a couple missing unlocks for the slots_arch_lock
