Sean Christopherson 83cdb56864 KVM: x86/mmu: Differentiate between nr zapped and list unstable
The return value of kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() has evolved to become
overloaded to convey two separate pieces of information.  1) was at
least one page zapped and 2) has the list of MMU pages become unstable.

In it's original incarnation (as kvm_mmu_zap_page()), there was no
return value at all.  Commit 0738541396 ("KVM: MMU: awareness of new
kvm_mmu_zap_page behaviour") added a return value in preparation for
commit 4731d4c7a0 ("KVM: MMU: out of sync shadow core").  Although
the return value was of type 'int', it was actually used as a boolean
to indicate whether or not active_mmu_pages may have become unstable due
to zapping children.  Walking a list with list_for_each_entry_safe()
only protects against deleting/moving the current entry, i.e. zapping a
child page would break iteration due to modifying any number of entries.

Later, commit 60c8aec6e2 ("KVM: MMU: use page array in unsync walk")
modified mmu_zap_unsync_children() to return an approximation of the
number of children zapped.  This was not intentional, it was simply a
side effect of how the code was written.

The unintented side affect was then morphed into an actual feature by
commit 77662e0028 ("KVM: MMU: fix kvm_mmu_zap_page() and its calling
path"), which modified kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages() to use the number of
zapped pages when determining the number of MMU pages in use by the VM.

Finally, commit 54a4f0239f ("KVM: MMU: make kvm_mmu_zap_page() return
the number of pages it actually freed") added the initial page to the
return value to make its behavior more consistent with what most users
would expect.  Incorporating the initial parent page in the return value
of kvm_mmu_zap_page() breaks the original usage of restarting a list
walk on a non-zero return value to handle a potentially unstable list,
i.e. walks will unnecessarily restart when any page is zapped.

Fix this by restoring the original behavior of kvm_mmu_zap_page(), i.e.
return a boolean to indicate that the list may be unstable and move the
number of zapped children to a dedicated parameter.  Since the majority
of callers to kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() don't care about either return
value, preserve the current definition of kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page() by
making it a wrapper of a new helper, __kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page().  This
avoids having to update every call site and also provides cleaner code
for functions that only care about the number of pages zapped.

Fixes: 54a4f0239f ("KVM: MMU: make kvm_mmu_zap_page() return
                      the number of pages it actually freed")
