KVM: x86/mmu: Verify shadow walk doesn't terminate early in page faults
WARN and bail if the shadow walk for faulting in a SPTE terminates early, i.e. doesn't reach the expected level because the walk encountered a terminal SPTE. The shadow walks for page faults are subtle in that they install non-leaf SPTEs (zapping leaf SPTEs if necessary!) in the loop body, and consume the newly created non-leaf SPTE in the loop control, e.g. __shadow_walk_next(). In other words, the walks guarantee that the walk will stop if and only if the target level is reached by installing non-leaf SPTEs to guarantee the walk remains valid. Opportunistically use fault->goal-level instead of it.level in FNAME(fetch) to further clarify that KVM always installs the leaf SPTE at the target level.
