[PATCH v2 2/3] KVM: x86/mmu: Use MMU shrinker to shrink KVM MMU memory caches

[Vipin Sharma]

Use MMU shrinker to iterate through all the vCPUs of all the VMs and
free pages allocated in MMU memory caches. Protect cache allocation in
page fault and MMU load path from MMU shrinker by using a per vCPU
mutex. In MMU shrinker, move the iterated VM to the end of the VMs list
so that the pain of emptying cache spread among other VMs too.

The specific caches to empty are mmu_shadow_page_cache and
mmu_shadowed_info_cache as these caches store whole pages. Emptying them
will give more impact to shrinker compared to other caches like
mmu_pte_list_desc_cache{} and mmu_page_header_cache{}

Holding per vCPU mutex lock ensures that a vCPU doesn't get surprised
by finding its cache emptied after filling them up for page table
allocations during page fault handling and MMU load operation. Per vCPU
mutex also makes sure there is only race between MMU shrinker and all
other vCPUs. This should result in very less contention.
