This needs a comment.

As requested in v1[1], please add a macro for a lockless walk.

Hrm, I don't like adding this in KVM. The primary MMU might guarantee that this
callback is invoked if and only if the SPTE is backed by struct page memory, but
there's no reason to assume that's true in KVM. If we want the sanity check, then
this needs to use kvm_pfn_to_refcounted_page().

And it should use KVM's MMU_WARN_ON(), which is a mess and effectively dead code,
but I'm working on changing that[*], i.e. by the time this gets to Linus' tree,
the sanity check should have a much cleaner implementation.

If/when you rebase on https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux/tree/next, can you pull
out the atomic bits of tdp_mmu_clear_spte_bits() and use that new helper? E.g.
