[PATCH 1/4 v2] kvm: abstract kvm x86 mmu->n_free_mmu_pages

First of all, I think "free" is a poor name for this value. In
this context, it means, "the number of mmu pages which this kvm
instance should be able to allocate." To me, "free" implies
much more that the objects are there and ready for use. I think
"available" is a much better description, especially when you
see how it is calculated.

In this patch, we abstract its use into a function. We'll soon
replace the function's contents by calculating the value in a
different way.

All of the reads of n_free_mmu_pages are taken care of in this
patch. The modification sites will be handled in a patch
later in the series.
