KVM: x86: Invoke kvm_mmu_unload() directly on CR4.PCIDE change

Browse Source 
Replace a KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD request with a direct kvm_mmu_unload() call
when the guest's CR4.PCIDE changes.  This will allow tweaking the logic
of KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD to free only obsolete/invalid roots, which is the
historical intent of KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD.  The recent PCIDE behavior is
the only user of KVM_REQ_MMU_RELOAD that doesn't mark affected roots as
obsolete, needs to unconditionally unload the entire MMU, _and_ affects
only the current vCPU.
