[PATCH v4 21/30] KVM: x86/mmu: Zap invalidated roots via asynchronous worker

[Paolo Bonzini]

Use the system work queue also for roots invalidated by the TDP MMU's
"fast zap" mechanism implemented by kvm_tdp_mmu_invalidate_all_roots().
Currently this is done by kvm_tdp_mmu_zap_invalidated_roots(), but
there is no need to duplicate the code between the "normal"
kvm_tdp_mmu_put_root() path and the invalidation case.  The
only issue is that kvm_tdp_mmu_invalidate_all_roots() now
assumes that there is at least one reference in kvm->users_count;
so if the VM is dying just go through the slow path, as there is
nothing to gain by using the fast zapping.
