KVM: MMU: avoid creation of unreachable pages in the shadow
It is possible for a shadow page to have a parent link
pointing to a freed page. When zapping a high level table,
kvm_mmu_page_unlink_children fails to remove the parent_pte link.
For that to happen, the child must be unreachable via the shadow
tree, which can happen in shadow_walk_entry if the guest pte was
modified in between walk() and fetch(). Remove the parent pte
reference in such case.
Possible cause for oops in bug #2217430.
