I was going to suggest you reset hv_tlb_eptp to INVALID_PAGE in case
this check fails (couple lines above) but this function is gone later in
the series and the replacement code in hv_remote_flush_tlb_with_range()
does exactly that.

I assume Hyper-V will swallow IVALID_PAGE without complaining much but
it seems pointless to do anything in this case indeed.
