Use the system worker threads to zap the roots invalidated by the TDP MMU's "fast zap" mechanism, implemented by kvm_tdp_mmu_invalidate_all_roots(). At this point, apart from allowing some parallelism in the zapping of roots, the workqueue is a glorified linked list: work items are added and flushed entirely within a single kvm->slots_lock critical section. However, the workqueue fixes a latent issue where kvm_mmu_zap_all_invalidated_roots() assumes that it owns a reference to all invalid roots; therefore, no one can set the invalid bit outside kvm_mmu_zap_all_fast(). Putting the invalidated roots on a linked list... erm, on a workqueue ensures that tdp_mmu_zap_root_work() only puts back those extra references that kvm_mmu_zap_all_invalidated_roots() had gifted to it.
