mainlining shenanigans

Toggle mmu_valid_gen between '0' and '1' instead of blindly incrementing the generation. Because slots_lock is held for the entire duration of zapping obsolete pages, it's impossible for there to be multiple invalid generations associated with shadow pages at any given time. Toggling between the two generations (valid vs. invalid) allows changing mmu_valid_gen from an unsigned long to a u8, which reduces the size of struct kvm_mmu_page from 160 to 152 bytes on 64-bit KVM, i.e. reduces KVM's memory footprint by 8 bytes per shadow page. Set sp->mmu_valid_gen before it is added to active_mmu_pages. Functionally this has no effect as kvm_mmu_alloc_page() has a single caller that sets sp->mmu_valid_gen soon thereafter, but visually it is jarring to see a shadow page being added to the list without its mmu_valid_gen first being set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
