Sean Christopherson b1a429fb18 KVM: x86/mmu: Verify shadow walk doesn't terminate early in page faults
WARN and bail if the shadow walk for faulting in a SPTE terminates early,
i.e. doesn't reach the expected level because the walk encountered a
terminal SPTE.  The shadow walks for page faults are subtle in that they
install non-leaf SPTEs (zapping leaf SPTEs if necessary!) in the loop
body, and consume the newly created non-leaf SPTE in the loop control,
e.g. __shadow_walk_next().  In other words, the walks guarantee that the
walk will stop if and only if the target level is reached by installing
non-leaf SPTEs to guarantee the walk remains valid.

Opportunistically use fault->goal-level instead of it.level in
FNAME(fetch) to further clarify that KVM always installs the leaf SPTE at
the target level.

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.
