Vipin Sharma 891f115960 KVM: x86/mmu: Bypass __handle_changed_spte() when aging TDP MMU SPTEs
Drop everything except the "tdp_mmu_spte_changed" tracepoint part of
__handle_changed_spte() when aging SPTEs in the TDP MMU, as clearing the
accessed status doesn't affect the SPTE's shadow-present status, whether
or not the SPTE is a leaf, or change the PFN.  I.e. none of the functional
updates handled by __handle_changed_spte() are relevant.

Losing __handle_changed_spte()'s sanity checks does mean that a bug could
theoretical go unnoticed, but that scenario is extremely unlikely, e.g.
would effectively require a misconfigured MMU or a locking bug elsewhere.

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.
