Revert "KVM/MMU: Flush tlb directly in the kvm_zap_gfn_range()"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit 71883a62fcd6c70639fa12cda733378b4d997409.

The above commit contains an optimization to kvm_zap_gfn_range which
uses gfn-limited TLB flushes, if enabled. If using these limited flushes,
kvm_zap_gfn_range passes lock_flush_tlb=false to slot_handle_level_range
which creates a race when the function unlocks to call cond_resched.
See an example of this race below:

CPU 0                   CPU 1                           CPU 3
// zap_direct_gfn_range
mmu_lock()
// *ptep == pte_1
*ptep = 0
if (lock_flush_tlb)
        flush_tlbs()
mmu_unlock()
                        // In invalidate range
                        // MMU notifier
                        mmu_lock()
                        if (pte != 0)
                                *ptep = 0
                                flush = true
                        if (flush)
                                flush_remote_tlbs()
                        mmu_unlock()
                        return
                        // Host MM reallocates
                        // page previously
                        // backing guest memory.
                                                        // Guest accesses
                                                        // invalid page
                                                        // through pte_1
                                                        // in its TLB!!

Tested: Ran all kvm-unit-tests on a Intel Haswell machine with and
	without this patch. The patch introduced no new failures.
