[PATCH 14/16] KVM: x86/mmu: Move root_hpa validity checks to top of page fault handler

[Sean Christopherson]

Add a check on root_hpa at the beginning of the page fault handler to
consolidate several checks on root_hpa that are scattered throughout the
page fault code.  This is a preparatory step towards eventually removing
such checks altogether, or at the very least WARNing if an invalid root
is encountered.  Remove only the checks that can be easily audited to
confirm that root_hpa cannot be invalidated between their current
location and the new check in kvm_mmu_page_fault(), and aren't currently
protected by mmu_lock, i.e. keep the checks in __direct_map() and
FNAME(fetch) for the time being.

The root_hpa checks that are consolidate were all added by commit

  37f6a4e237303 ("KVM: x86: handle invalid root_hpa everywhere")

which was a follow up to a bug fix for __direct_map(), commit

  989c6b34f6a94 ("KVM: MMU: handle invalid root_hpa at __direct_map")

At the time, nested VMX had, in hindsight, crazy handling of nested
interrupts and would trigger a nested VM-Exit in ->interrupt_allowed(),
and thus unexpectedly reset the MMU in flows such as can_do_async_pf().

Now that the wonky nested VM-Exit behavior is gone, the root_hpa checks
are bogus and confusing, e.g. it's not at all obvious what they actually
protect against, and at first glance they appear to be broken since many
of them run without holding mmu_lock.
