KVM: x86: Drop dedicated logic for direct MMUs in reexecute_instructi…
…on() Now that KVM doesn't pointlessly acquire mmu_lock for direct MMUs, drop the dedicated path entirely and always query indirect_shadow_pages when deciding whether or not to try unprotecting the gfn. For indirect, a.k.a. shadow MMUs, checking indirect_shadow_pages is harmless; unless *every* shadow page was somehow zapped while KVM was attempting to emulate the instruction, indirect_shadow_pages is guaranteed to be non-zero. Well, unless the instruction used a direct hugepage with 2-level paging for its code page, but in that case, there's obviously nothing to unprotect. And in the extremely unlikely case all shadow pages were zapped, there's again obviously nothing to unprotect.
