[PATCH] KVM: x86/MMU: Do not check unsync status for root SP.

In shadow page table, only leaf SPs may be marked as unsync.
And for non-leaf SPs, we use unsync_children to keep the number
of the unsynced children. In kvm_mmu_sync_root(), sp->unsync
shall always be zero for the root SP, hence no need to check it.
