[PATCH v9 09/11] KVM: x86/mmu: Add infrastructure to allow walking rmaps outside of mmu_lock

[James Houghton <jthoughton@google.com>]

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

Steal another bit from rmap entries (which are word aligned pointers, i.e.
have 2 free bits on 32-bit KVM, and 3 free bits on 64-bit KVM), and use
the bit to implement a *very* rudimentary per-rmap spinlock.  The only
anticipated usage of the lock outside of mmu_lock is for aging gfns, and
collisions between aging and other MMU rmap operations are quite rare,
e.g. unless userspace is being silly and aging a tiny range over and over
in a tight loop, time between contention when aging an actively running VM
is O(seconds).  In short, a more sophisticated locking scheme shouldn't be
necessary.

Note, the lock only protects the rmap structure itself, SPTEs that are
pointed at by a locked rmap can still be modified and zapped by another
task (KVM drops/zaps SPTEs before deleting the rmap entries)
