[PATCH v2 06/26] KVM: x86/mmu: Pass memslot to kvm_mmu_new_shadow_page()

Passing the memslot to kvm_mmu_new_shadow_page() avoids the need for the
vCPU pointer when write-protecting indirect 4k shadow pages. This moves
us closer to being able to create new shadow pages during VM ioctls for
eager page splitting, where there is not vCPU pointer.

This change does not negatively impact "Populate memory time" for ept=Y
or ept=N configurations since kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot() caches the last
use slot. So even though we now look up the slot more often, it is a
very cheap check.

Opportunistically move the code to write-protect GFNs shadowed by
PG_LEVEL_4K shadow pages into account_shadowed() to reduce indentation
and consolidate the code. This also eliminates a memslot lookup.

No functional change intended.
