KVM: x86/mmu: Don't rebuild page when the page is synced and no tlb flushing is required
Before Commit c3e5e415bc1e6 ("KVM: X86: Change kvm_sync_page()
to return true when remote flush is needed"), the return value
of kvm_sync_page() indicates whether the page is synced, and
kvm_mmu_get_page() would rebuild page when the sync fails.
But now, kvm_sync_page() returns false when the page is
synced and no tlb flushing is required, which leads to
rebuild page in kvm_mmu_get_page(). So return the return
value of mmu->sync_page() directly and check it in
kvm_mmu_get_page(). If the sync fails, the page will be
zapped and the invalid_list is not empty, so set flush as
true is accepted in mmu_sync_children().
