[PATCH V2 5/7] KVM: X86/MMU: Remove the check of the return value of to_shadow_page()

From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@antgroup.com>

Remove the check of the return value of to_shadow_page() in
mmu_free_root_page(), kvm_mmu_free_guest_mode_roots(), is_unsync_root()
and is_tdp_mmu() because it can not return NULL.

Remove the check of the return value of to_shadow_page() in
is_page_fault_stale() and is_obsolete_root() because it can not return
NULL and the obsoleting for special shadow page is already handled by
a different way.

When the obsoleting process is done, all the obsoleted shadow pages are
already unlinked from the special pages by the help of the parent rmap
of the children and the special pages become theoretically valid again.
The special shadow page can be freed if is_obsolete_sp() return true,
or be reused if is_obsolete_sp() return false.
