tdp_mmu_alloc_sp() is only called in two places. One for the root, and
one for the mid-level tables.

In later patches when the kvm_mmu_alloc_private_spt() part is added,
the root case doesn't need anything done. So the code has to take
special care in tdp_mmu_alloc_sp() to avoid doing anything for the
root.

It only needs to do the special private spt allocation in non-root
case. If we open code that case, I think maybe we could drop this
patch, like the below.

The benefits are to drop this patch (which looks to already be part of
Paolo's series), and simplify "KVM: x86/mmu: Add a private pointer to
struct kvm_mmu_page". I'm not sure though, what do you think? Only
build tested.
