I meant to check for list_empty in kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages, instead of
relying on the count returned by kvm_mmu_zap_page. Similarly to what
__kvm_mmu_free_some_pages does.

Checking here is not needed because the pages returned in the array
will not be zapped (mmu_lock is held).

Applied 1, 4 and 5 (so please regenerate against kvm.git -next branch),
thanks.
