[PATCH v3 06/28] KVM: x86/mmu: Require mmu_lock be held for write in unyielding root iter

Assert that mmu_lock is held for write by users of the yield-unfriendly
TDP iterator. The nature of a shared walk means that the caller needs to
play nice with other tasks modifying the page tables, which is more or
less the same thing as playing nice with yielding. Theoretically, KVM
could gain a flow where it could legitimately take mmu_lock for read in
a non-preemptible context, but that's highly unlikely and any such case
should be viewed with a fair amount of scrutiny.
