I agree that "struct <name>s" is a bad/misleading way to make a struct
plural in comments. The way I prefer to do it is "<name> structs".
That avoids changing the <name> and still makes it clear it's plural.
So in this case the comment would be:

/*
* List of kvm_mmu_page structs being used as roots.
* All kvm_mmu_page structs in the list should have
* tdp_mmu_page set.
*/
