kvm: x86: mmu: Recovery of shattered NX large pages
commit 1aa9b9572b10529c2e64e2b8f44025d86e124308 upstream.
The page table pages corresponding to broken down large pages are zapped in
FIFO order, so that the large page can potentially be recovered, if it is
not longer being used for execution. This removes the performance penalty
for walking deeper EPT page tables.
By default, one large page will last about one hour once the guest
reaches a steady state.

- Adjust filename, context]
