[PATCH] KVM/MMU: Combine flushing remote tlb in mmu_set_spte()

From: Tianyu Lan
Date: Tue Jul 24 2018 - 04:17:19 EST


mmu_set_spte() flushes remote tlbs for drop_parent_pte/drop_spte()
and set_spte() separately. This may introduce redundant flush. This
patch is to combine these flushes and check flush request after
calling set_spte().
