KVM: x86/mmu: Reintroduce fast invalidate/zap for flushing memslot

James Harvey reported a livelock that was introduced by commit
d012a06a ("Revert "KVM: x86/mmu: Zap only the relevant pages when
removing a memslot"").

The livelock occurs because kvm_mmu_zap_all() as it exists today will
voluntarily reschedule and drop KVM's mmu_lock, which allows other vCPUs
to add shadow pages.  With enough vCPUs, kvm_mmu_zap_all() can get stuck
in an infinite loop as it can never zap all pages before observing lock
contention or the need to reschedule.  The equivalent of kvm_mmu_zap_all()
that was in use at the time of the reverted commit (4e103134, "KVM:
x86/mmu: Zap only the relevant pages when removing a memslot") employed
a fast invalidate mechanism and was not susceptible to the above livelock.

There are three ways to fix the livelock:

- Reverting the revert (commit d012a06a) is not a viable option as
  the revert is needed to fix a regression that occurs when the guest has
  one or more assigned devices.  It's unlikely we'll root cause the device
  assignment regression soon enough to fix the regression timely.

- Remove the conditional reschedule from kvm_mmu_zap_all().  However, although
  removing the reschedule would be a smaller code change, it's less safe
  in the sense that the resulting kvm_mmu_zap_all() hasn't been used in
  the wild for flushing memslots since the fast invalidate mechanism was
  introduced by commit 6ca18b69 ("KVM: x86: use the fast way to
  invalidate all pages"), back in 2013.

- Reintroduce the fast invalidate mechanism and use it when zapping shadow
  pages in response to a memslot being deleted/moved, which is what this
  patch does.

For all intents and purposes, this is a revert of commit ea145aac
("Revert "KVM: MMU: fast invalidate all pages"") and a partial revert of
commit 7390de1e ("Revert "KVM: x86: use the fast way to invalidate
all pages""), i.e. restores the behavior of commit 5304b8d3 ("KVM:
MMU: fast invalidate all pages") and commit 6ca18b69 ("KVM: x86:
use the fast way to invalidate all pages") respectively.

Fixes: d012a06a ("Revert "KVM: x86/mmu: Zap only the relevant pages when removing a memslot"")
